 INTRODUCTION
 Increasing Urbanization and industrialization has led to mass consumption
and over Exploitation of resources

 With the increasing incomes, rising standard of life and mass production
and amount of waste generation ahs also increased
tremendously.unfortunately the rapid growth in urban infrastructural
development is not in sync with the scientific progress in methods of
waste recycling and waste treatment.

 We all produce wastes in nearly everything we do. A variety of wastes are

produced as we perform our activities such as cooking , farming,
maintaining our home or school, running a shop, business, industry or
office in our day to day life.
 WHAT IS WASTE??
 Materials that are discarded, unused, and rejected as
worthless or unwanted are known as waste.
 It is also reffered t oas rubbish, trash, garbage or junk
depending on the types of material and the regional
terminology.
 It is infact difficult to define specially what a waste is. Items
that some people discard have value to others. It is widely
recognised that waste materials is a valuable source, whilst
there is a debate hoe this value is best realised.
 Governments need to define what waste is inorder to ensure
the safe and legal disposal of waste.

WASTE
• HAZARDOUS WASTE
Hazardous waste materials are those which are highly
toxic to human, animals and plants.
these materials are corossive, highly inflammable or
explosive. These materials react when exposed to
certain things, for eg. Gases. Some of the hazardous
wastes can cause genetic disorders. Certain types of
hospital waste and industrial waste are considered
hazardous waste as they contain toxic substances.
Certain type of toxic waste are also hazardous.
