Complete the Pollution Prevention Act. Chronologically arrange the Basic Steps in Processing
Industrial Wastes:
“Waste should be prevented or reduced at the source
wherever feasible, while pollution that cannot be prevented Step 1 : Analysis or Segragation
should be recycled in an environmentally safe manner.” Step 2 : Collection and Transport
Step 3 : Recovery
Pollution hierarchy (most to least preferable alternative) Step 4: Recycling and Disposal

1. Source Reduction
2. Recycling/Reuse
3. Treatment
4. Ultimate Disposal
This stage of pollution prevention hierarchy includes the
destruction or detoxification of wastes into non-toxic or less
toxic materials by chemical, biological, or physical methods,
or any combination of these control methods.
Treatment
This stage of Pollution Prevention Hierarchy includes the
practices that decrease, avoid, or eliminate waste generation.
Source Reduction
Pollution prevention measures are becoming more attractive
because waste handling and disposal costs are increasing.
True
In what year was the Pollution Prevention Act passed?
1990
The pollution prevention hierarchy precedes the Traditional
Waste Management Hierarchy
True
Materials that, if ingested, can cause serious illness or death,
in addition to cancer, birth defects, or other chronic health
problems
Poison/toxic
Materials that may pass on diseases, and thus must never be
contained in any household items
Biohazards/infectious
Which region in the world generated the most amount of
industrial waste according to 2011 data?
Asia Pacific
According to European data, this industry had an observable
trend in waste generation from 2004 to 2014.
Manufacturing
Imdustrial waste materials that can be decomposed into
simpler unharmful substances by the action of
microorganisms
Biodegradable
Residue from industrial activity that can harm public health
or environment, either alone or when in contact with other
wastes

Pollution prevention is synonymous to “end-of-pipe” Hazardous

pollution control.
Materials that may cause illness if not shielded properly or if
False their shield breaks down due to improper disposal

This stage of pollution prevention hierarchy includes the use, Radioactive

reuse, or reclamation of waste and/or materials that may
involve the incorporation of waste recovery techniques. Management of industrial waste is the responsibility of the
government.
Recycling/Reuse
False
This stage of pollution prevention hierarchy is only included
in the hierarchy because it is recognized that residual wastes Materials that may react violently when exposed to heat or
will exist. other substances

Ultimate disposal Explosive

When did waste-reduction management begin in the USA? Which of the following industries generate the most amount
of waste?
1980-1985
Chemicals and allied products

assortment of precious metals?

Spent catalyst

Data shows that in developed countries the production of

industrial waste displays a reduction, whereas in developing
countries, the trend, is opposite.

True

The following aspects of society have increased with

industrialization, except

population in rural areas

No hazardous waste may be recycled since all hazardous

wastes must be automatically disposed.

False

Materials that can eat away other substances, including living

tissues

Corrosive

Wastes from industrial activity that do not pose a threat to

public health or environment

Nonhazardous

Industrial waste materials that can’t be further decomposed

via the action of the microorganisms

Non-biodegradable

It generally refers to the waste material generated by

industries or industrial processes
