3. Introduction
“Hazardous Waste” means the waste the waste that is
danger to health and environment by itself or in combination with other
material.
4. Types of hazardous waste
i]Reactive wastes
ii]Ignitable wastes
iii]Medical waste
iv]Radioactive waste
v]Corrosive waste
1.Reactive wastes-
This wastes are unstable and tend to react vigorously
with air and water and other substances.
5. 2.Ignitable wastes-
This waste burns at low temperature and are
capable of spontaneous combustion during storage, transport or
disposal.
3.Medical waste-
This waste include waste by medical field like hospitals
and biological research centers.
6. 4.Radioactive waste-
This waste includes lionizing radiation and waste from
nuclear power plants.
5.Corrosive waste-
This waste includes waste due to chemical reaction

iv]Toxicity
1.Ignitability-
This characteristic of hazardous waste is due to fires
under certain condition.
2.Corrosivity-
The characteristic of hazardous waste due to high
alkaline or acidic waste.
3.Reactivity-
This characteristic gives unstable property to
waste.
4.Toxicity-
It is the degree which substance can damage an

Management of medical waste
1.Segretion of waste in color coded bags
2.Training to the staff of hospitals and medical research centers
3.Equipments
9. 1.Segretion of waste in color coded bags
Shows the label or symbol for biomedical waste containers or
bags
10. 3.Training to the staff of hospitals and medical research
centers
4.Equipments
12. Kilometers deep rather than
hundreds of meters.
Provide Further isolation from ground
water.
More potential borehole locations
around the globe.
Can be created in many cases close
to power plants.
Deep bore holes
13. Burrowing nuclear waste into the ground
to the point where it is out of human reach
Large variety of geological environments
suitable for disposal
Depth of burial is very high
Waste can be recovered
Most widely used method
Practically feasible with current
technology
Geological disposal
14. Long term method
Separating useful
components from non
useful
Fissionable material out
from irradiated nuclear fuel
Reprocessing
15. Decay and Storage
Store waste in the laboratory if the half-
life is no more than 120 days.
“DIS” Isotopes must be held for decay for
at least 10 half-lives.
Survey monitoring of material must read
close to background.
All radioactive labeling must be
defaced.

16. Management of reactive, ignitable, corrosive waste
Incineration Process
Incinerators are used to dispose or refuse by burning it at
high temperature.
