Description: Toxic waste refers to waste that is harmful or dangerous to human health or the environment. This waste can come from various sources, including industries, hospitals, laboratories, and agricultural activities. It is characterized by containing chemical substances that can cause adverse health effects, such as chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and respiratory problems, as well as damage to the ecosystem. Improper management of these wastes can result in soil, water, and air contamination, exacerbating environmental and public health issues. Therefore, the correct identification, handling, and disposal of toxic waste is crucial for sustainability and environmental protection. In an increasingly industrialized world, the generation of toxic waste has increased, leading to the need to develop technologies and policies that promote their treatment and recycling, thus minimizing their negative impact. Awareness of the importance of sustainability and environmental health has driven initiatives to reduce the production of these wastes and encourage safer and more responsible practices in their management.
