Course Overview

400 Millions Of tons Hazardous waste is produced yearly which is 13 tons per second.
Every single individual in the world produces close to 60 kilograms of hazardous trash annually.

With industrialization and development, there is a growing concern over a hazardous waste generation. The levels of dangerous waste continue to grow. This serious environmental issue is still mostly unknown to industries and people. There is rising worry over the handling of hazardous waste in light of the pitiful landfill management infrastructure.

Introduction

Substances that might harm the environment or human health make up hazardous waste. This type of waste comes from pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and wastewater treatment, and also everyday items like batteries, light bulbs, paints, and solvents.

What is Hazardous Waste Management? Hazardous waste management is the process of handling waste in a way that keeps employees, consumers, residents, and local ecosystems away from the harmful repercussions of such elements. Generally, the chain of responsibility for hazardous waste management passes through a few different facilities: generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.

Hazardous waste management and disposal come with consequences if not done properly. Hazardous gaseous compounds can be incorrectly disposed of and discharged into the atmosphere, increasing sickness and death. The common way to dispose of hazardous waste is in landfills. Unpleasant quantities of dangerous substances seeped into the earth as a result. So it is important to dispose of hazardous wastes in proper ways like recycling, incineration, destruction, and pyrolysis.

In this program, you will learn about the basics of hazardous waste, Types of hazardous waste, Effects of hazardous waste, and management & disposal of hazardous waste. The Statutory & regulatory requirement related to hazardous waste handling, storage & disposal, contingency planning & emergency response to hazardous substance release.
