hazardous wastes by April Osal

HAZARDOUS WASTES:

Hazardous waste has been created from many problems and dangers that have not gone unnoticed. It is produced both on a huge scale by major industries and on a relatively tiny scale by individuals, no matter where it comes from and whoever throw those wastes but still it is dangerous in our health.
This problem was not good in our environment, it causes that the people do not realize how large and how important they should know about this problem.
This is continually growing in our countries, for example is the releasing of the gases and particles into the atmosphere, human produce waste that is dumped on the environment that is dangerous for our environment as well as to the people.

Corporations usually want to avoid the costs associated with having to limit creation of hazardous waste. Consequently, they build ‘’landfill’ on site fill them with waste, or sometimes pay to have their waste removed. These hazardous waste can be transported through areas that accept take the wastes.

Just like the other problems of our environment like air pollution, hazardous waste can also be controlled through input and output controls.
As of now, the government already did a step to avoid hazardous wastes, they can increase regulations in the disposal of hazardous waste to ensure that problem do not occur again. It could also limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce, or to provide incentives to create less waste.
After this happened and created, there are several actions that have been taken.
Industries can break down chemical compounds into dangerous forms, or store waste in ways that protect the environment from being exposed to the waste.

In this situation, we can learn that we really need to eliminate problems that we are encountering now days in our environment.
