HAZARDOUS WASTE
DEFINITION






What is a Hazardous Waste?



Any waste because of its quantity, physical, chemical or infectious
characteristics and having potentiality to cause significant hazards to
damage environmental quality and human health, when disposed, treated,
Stored or transported can be called as a hazardous waste
(Generic definition).



The waste can be solid, liquid or gas; the management practices of each type
are differ from the other. Individual countries to develop management
strategy.
Hazardous Definition
Hazardous in the State in which they are generated
or in which they are present.
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)
describes hazardous wastes as:
Wastes, other than radioactive wastes, which by
reasons of their chemical reactivity or toxicity,
explosive, corrosive or other characteristics causing
danger or likely to cause danger to health or
environment, whether alone or when coming into
contact with other wastes, are legally defined as are
disposed or through which they are transported
Conventionally Only solid waste is considered for
management convenience.
Hazardous
Definition:
The Waste Management Council in India,
Nagpur defines HSW:
Any solid waste, other than radioactive
wastes, which by reasons of physical and/or
chemical or reactive or toxic, explosive,
corrosive or other characteristics causing
danger or likely to cause danger to health or
environment, whether alone or when coming
into contact with other waste or
environment
Hazardous
From legal and Management point of view
a definition is important. It is
important to know the following
features.
Characteristics of wastes;
Treatment and disposal options
Social, political and economic
considerations of the country
Basel Convention-Hazardous
Waste Management-1989
Key Objectives: Applicable to Schedule-3 Substances Imports & Exports)


1)To reduce trans-boundary movements to the minimum consistent with environmentally-
sound management.

2)To dispose as close as possible to their source of generation,

3)To minimize in terms of quantity and hazard potential,

4)To ensure strict control over movements across borders and illegal traffic,

5)To prohibit shipments to countries lacking legal,administrative and technical capacity to
manage and dispose in environmental sound manner,

6)To assist developing countries and countries in economic transition in environmental
sound management of hazardous wastes they generate
Hazardous Waste
The approaches usually practiced are given below:

Listing of the hazardous wastes as per CPCB guide lines
and listing processes;

Fixing minimum threshold concentration above
which the waste may be considered hazardous.

Listing non-hazardous wastes generated by the industry,
the rest of the total waste generated being automatically
hazardous (Exclusion principle) (?).
Hazardous Rules
The Hazardous Waste (Handling and Management)
Rules, 1989(CPCB) lists 18 categories of wastes
with threshold concentrations of the hazardous
component as hazardous wastes.

The Amendment to the Hazardous waste Rules
made in 2000 and 2003 defines HSW on the basis of
Schedule 1 & 2 rules:36 processes generating them
and in terms of classes (Classes A-E) based on

Hazardous Characteristics
Characteristics of Hazardous Waste. The following are some of the important
characteristics attributed to hazardous wastes.

Ignitibility Spontaneous ignitibility at or below 600 C

Reactivity Unstable and violent change without detonation, reacts violently with
water, generates toxic gases (HCN, H2S etc.) when exposed to
favorable pH conditions, oxidizing etc.
Corrosivity
Destroys substances or living tissues on contact (ex. pH <2 and >2
corrodes steel at a rate >6.35 mm/y at 55oC)

Toxicity (Acute and Chronic)Releases toxic materials (irritant, carcinogenic,
mutagenic, teratogenic etc.) on leaching or in ambient condition. The list
includes selected volatile and semi-volatile organics, pesticides,
herbicides and heavy metals.

Infectious Carries infective pathogens (ex. hospital waste)

Ecotoxic Causes immediate or delayed risks for one or more sectors of environment.
Hazardous Waste
Health and physical hazards being the
most important of all the hazards.

HAZARDOUS Waste-Management
Management of Hazardous Waste: The major issues
of hazardous waste management are briefly
summarized below.

Formulation of internationally acceptable definition
and classification keeping the requirements of the
Basel Convention (BC) is required. Although the
UNEP permits each country to evolve its own
definition of hazardous waste, the Basel Convention
aims at controlling trans-boundary movement of
such wastes. For this, it is desirable to have an
internationally acceptable definition. India is a
signatory of the BC.
Hazardous Waste
Promotion of minimization of waste generation through low-waste or
no-waste technologies of production, recycling and reuse (in situ
and ex situ).
A combination of technological, legislative, economic and
informational measures is required .Measurement and
monitoring HSWs and their fate from generation to final
disposal (cradle-to-grave principle).
Formulation of guidelines for the segregation, collection, transport
and storage. This is to prevent pilferage and leakage for the safety
of the operators and the public
Development of safe treatment and disposal methods.

Identification of the site of disposal. This should be done very
carefully through proper Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
and other methods.
Hazardous
Investigation of abandoned and live disposal sites.
A disposal site, whether live or abandoned, needs to be
continuously investigated to see if any failure has
developed over a period of time endangering the
environment (e.g., leachates contaminating the ground
water, erosion affecting fresh water bodies).
Sometimes very old abandoned sites are forgotten.
Such sites are required to be identified, notified and
investigated from time to time and remedial measures
should be taken (Example:Orichem Industries in Talcher-
Angul, Leather factories in Boudh, Titilagarh, and
Raygarah etc).
Hazardous
Remediation measures in case of failure of
preventive measures. This is often very difficult and
expensive. For example, cleaning of contaminated
groundwater is very difficult.
Information collection and dissemination (training).
Awareness generation.
Research and Development. A good amount of R & D
input is necessary for development of low-waste/no-
waste technologies and safe treatment/disposal
methods. This is a continuous process.
Hazardous
In the Indian scenario, there are many constraints of
safe management of HSWs.
lack of public awareness of the importance of the
issues,
(ii) Dearth of knowledge about sources and hazards,
(iii) Poor/Inadequate pollution control and disposal,
(iv) Existence of large number of small scale and tiny
industries lacking in financial resources and
expertise(some 4 million small scale industries in India),
(v) Lack of combined treatment and disposal
facilities,
(vi) Slow and lengthy judicial procedure etc
Hazardous
Waste Avoidance. Waste avoidance can be done in many ways
on case by case basis.

Process modification. Industrial process can be altered in such a
way that the raw material used is optimized whereby waste
generation is reduced.
Waste segregation. If hazardous and non-hazardous wastes are
generated together, segregation reduces the quantity of the
hazardous waste making its treatment and disposal processes easy
and simple.

Waste reuse. In some cases waste materials can be used with very
little processing as a raw material for some other industry.
Example: Rejected pot lines of aluminum smelters in cement
kilns and bagasse of sugar industries for paper
manufacture/Composting to produce manure.
HSW
Waste recycling: Waste can be treated and
reused in the process. Ex. Recycling of torn
papers of the paper machines in pulp and
paper industry.
Substitution of hazardous waste material. In
some cases substitution of some chemicals in
the process can avoid hazardous waste
generation, example: Zinc chloride can be
used with slight modification in the zinc
electroplating process thereby eliminating
the cyanide problem.
HSW-Management
Waste Treatment. Sometimes the hazardous
waste is required to be treated before disposal
to change its physical and/or chemical
properties for detoxication and easier disposal.
The treatment methods can be divided into 4
groups.
Physical
Chemical
Biological(using microorganisms)
Solidification.

Thermal Methods
The thermal method of treatment is a very common method of
treatment for hazardous solid wastes.

The thermal process is basically of two types: Incineration and
Pyrolysis.


Incineration (heating to very high temperature (1200 C)
In the presence of air) - commonly used.

Pyrolysis (heating to high temperature in the absence of air
- Its significance in hazardous waste is less.
It is important in the recycling of
Plastics.
Incineration
Incineration is the most important method of treatment of organic and highly toxic
hazardous wastes including hospital wastes.

The high temperature (usually 12000C) mineralizes all kinds of organic matters.
The mineralized products are slag salts, P205 and gases CO2 , H2O, HCl, HF, SO2, Knox etc.
depending upon the nature of the waste incinerated. The waste gas may also contain traces
of toxic substances like dioxin.
Large incinerators have provision for scrubbing to control air pollution.
Wastes, which can be incinerated, :

Slurry, sludge and pasty wastes (oil slurries, dye sludges, distillation residues, tank
bottoms etc)

Liquids (organic solvent mixtures, transformer oil containing PCB, cutting oil etc)
Solids (tarry wastes, pesticides, expired drugs, cosmetics, absorbents etc

Waste delivered barrels (barrels containing, dyes, drugs, pesticides etc)


Infectious hospital wastes (bandages, gauges, plastic bottles, body tissues etc)
Incinerator
A typical large incinerator consists of
a combustion chamber,
after-burner chamber,
pre -cooler, scrubber,
exhaust fan and stack.
There are many types of incinerators and the
choice of the incinerator depends upon the
waste type.
The solid residue (ash) left after incineration
may contain heavy metals. It should be
properly disposed usually in secured landfill.
Incineration
Incineration is not commonly practiced in
India.

However, there is a scope for the use of
rotary kilns of cement plants for
incineration of certain types of hazardous
wastes.
HSW Management
Collection, Transport and Storage. Sufficient care
should be taken to prevent spillage and pilferage of
hazardous waste during its collection, transport and
storage.
A logbook should be maintained for this.
Proper labeling should be done on the containers and
transport vehicles.
Accidents cause spillage. All possible care should be
taken to prevent accidents during collection,
transport and storage.
If any accident actually occurs, it should be
recorded and the cmpetent authority intimated
without delay so that remediation measures can be
taken up.
Disposal
Disposal.

The options available are
Landfill
Sea dumping
Underground disposal
Encapsulation

Sea dumping is generally to be avoided because of possible
adverse effects on marine life, fishing and navigation. Many
national and international laws also control it. International law
prohibits dumping of many hazardous substances like
halogenated organics, Organo-silicon compounds, mercury,
lead and cadmium salts etc. In spite of international
regulations, clandestine sea dumping is taking place.
Disposal in Mining
Hazardous wastes can be disposed in deep underground
mines, which meet specific geological and technical criteria.
Salt mines are often used because the hazardous waste has much
less chance of interacting with the geological formations there The
very existence of salt in those mines proves that the.
underground site is not affected by groundwater for millions of
years.
Disposal in underground mines has much less scope and favor.

Encapsulation followed by deep burial is an option when the
waste is very highly hazardous and generated in small
quantities. This is a common practice of disposal of nuclear
wastes.
These are confined in concrete capsules and buried or dumped into
sea. There are however, evidences that the capsules dumped into
the seas in the South Pacific Ocean in the fifties and sixties have
started leaking causing radioactive contaminat
Secured Landfill
Secured landfill, therefore, is the only practical and available option
for disposal of hazardous wastes. Liquid wastes are not disposed in
landfills.

Sludges should be de-watered to the maximum extent before putting
in landfills.

The disposal site should be selected, designed and managed so that
no harmful substance reaches the hydrosphere and the biosphere in
unacceptable quantities.


Sufficient care should be taken to protect the groundwater sources
and ensure mechanical stability of the waste material. It is also
desirable that for a cluster of HSW generating industries, particularly
for small scale industries (SSIs), common disposal sites should be
identified

Secured Landfill
The key factors for site selection are:
type and quantity of waste,
active life of disposal site,
traffic condition
geological and geographical condition of the site.
Environmental Impact Assessment is required to be
done before final decision.
Secured Landfill Design. A good secured landfill
should be designed in such a way that there are several
barriers which work independently from each other.
Ideally the barriers are
