Hazardous Waste Regulations are laws designed to manage and control the disposal of waste that can be harmful to human health and the environment. These regulations ensure that hazardous materials, such as chemicals and heavy metals, are handled safely from their creation to their final disposal. They require proper labeling, storage, and treatment of hazardous waste to minimize risks. In the United States, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governs hazardous waste management. This act sets standards for waste generators, transporters, and treatment facilities, ensuring that hazardous waste is managed responsibly. Compliance with these regulations helps protect communities and ecosystems from potential dangers associated with hazardous waste.
