Abstract
In the age of industrialization, solid waste disposal is a major challenge for environment protection. Due to climate change and global warming, hazardous solid waste management is one more important area to balance the flora and fauna of the ecosystem. Due to large industrial and economic developments, dramatic changes in lifestyle, and growing population density, it can be easy to see the significant increase of hazardous solid waste in India. As per the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, it is an indispensable part of all industrial and social activities to perform measurements for the effective management of hazardous waste. Apart from many pollution control laws, in large urban areas hazardous solid waste disposal is ineffective. In the recent industrial age, solid waste may contain hazardous chemicals. Therefore, industrial multihazardous waste contains several combinations of chemical, radioactive, and biological hazards. That's why it is more necessary to effectively manage that hazardous waste to implement the best strategies to maximize safety and minimize environmental impact. The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate various new practices and technologies for hazardous waste reduction, segregation, handling, recycling, reuse, and treatment, including disposal. This chapter also discusses the potential impact of new technologies on various aspects such as performance indicators, economic factors, sustainability, and policy development.
