Industrial hazardous waste refers to waste materials generated from industrial activities that pose a risk to human health or the environment. This type of waste can include chemicals, heavy metals, solvents, and other toxic substances that are produced during manufacturing processes, maintenance, or disposal of industrial products. Proper management and disposal of hazardous waste are crucial to prevent contamination of soil, water, and air. Regulations, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), govern the handling and disposal of industrial hazardous waste. Industries must follow strict guidelines to ensure safe treatment, storage, and disposal, minimizing potential harm to communities and ecosystems. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to severe penalties and environmental damage.
