1. Introduction:
The Indian sub-continent is a part of Asian continent. It is separated by the Himalayas to the rest of the sub-continent. India has Bay of Bengal in the East, Arabian Sea in the West and Indian Ocean in the South. India has four regions comprising of mountain zone, Ganga and Indus, desert, and southern peninsula. India is constituted of 29 states and 7 union territories.
The prime focus of hazardous waste management is to ensure safe, effective and economic way of collection, to transport, treating the waste and disposing off the hazardous waste.
The industrial sector has rapidly grown in India which has contributed to the economic growth of the country as well as added to the pollution. The prime focus of this report …show more content…
Almost all of the industrial units have permission to dispose the waste in multiple forms which include incineration, storage, land disposal, and others mostly which include recycle and reuse options [8].
The generated HW pose a great risk to humans and environment. The HW generated polluted the air, soil and water and thus affecting the aquatic life present in the water bodies as well as humans.
3. Hazardous waste management system
Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF) of the Government of India (GOI) formed “Hazardous Waste Management and Handling Rules”. The main goal to make a set of rules was to frame a skeleton for an efficient handling, storage, transportation and treatment of the produced hazardous wastes with respect to the environmental act of 1986.
The recycling and safe disposal methods of wastes generated are based on the waste elimination and reduction techniques.
3.1 Waste reduction and Waste elimination
Considering the problems in disposal of hazardous waste, the elimination and reduction of the waste is the best option due to the long term affects caused by the improper disposal of the hazardous waste.
3.2 Recycling of hazardous …show more content…
The issue identified with these states is that the area is too small as well as the waste produced is very minimum as compared to the other states. Hence, the problem of setting up of individual landfills in these states is a problem. The solution for the above problem would be collaborating with the neighbouring states common landfill.
4.1 Illegal dumpsites and remediation
In numerous states in India where there is no common landfills present, we can observe illegal dumping of wastes in the sites. The main reason behind this illegal dumping of waste is that there would be large reduction of transport costs incurred for the transportation of wastes by the industries. Steps to be taken in order to control this kind of illegal dumping of wastes by strengthening the security of the landfill. Regular tastes should be performed on the soil and ground water in order to determine the effects of landfill in the particular region.
