Obsolete garbage is generally divided into "four categories": recyclable, hazardous waste, food waste, and other waste. Among them, hazardous waste refers to substances in old waste that cause direct or potential harm to human health or the natural environment. They need to be collected, transported, and stored separately, and must be specially processed by professional institutions recognized by the environmental protection department. So what is the harmful waste produced in daily staleness? How harmful is hazardous waste? How to deal with it?
1. What are the hazardous wastes?
html Disposable batteries such as 05-size and 7-size batteries are other waste because they contain no or low mercury. However, lithium batteries (such as mobile phone batteries) used in electronic products, lead-acid batteries , such as electric car batteries , as well as nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries and button batteries , are all hazardous waste..." Except for fluorescent rods and other harmful mercury-containing Waste, common waste paint, solvents and their packaging, waste pesticides, disinfectants and their packaging, waste film, waste photo paper, toner cartridges, CDs, pen refills, waste small household appliances, electronic products, etc., are all hazardous waste.

1. If discarded ordinary energy-saving lamps contain 0.5 mg of mercury, it will cause 180 tons of groundwater pollution. Once the mercury content in the air exceeds the standard, It will cause harm to the human body. Long-term exposure to excessive mercury can cause poisoning. Chronic mercury poisoning is one of the typical public diseases.
2, "Waste batteries are small, but they are very harmful. Unlike garbage, air and water pollution, which can be felt through the senses, pollution is very hidden and therefore does not receive the attention it deserves. At present, our country has become a major battery production and consumption country, and waste battery pollution is a major environmental problem waiting to be solved. In addition, as for expired drugs, most drugs are easy to decompose and evaporate after expiration, emitting toxic gases, causing indoor environmental pollution, and in severe cases, causing harm to the human respiratory tract. If discarded at will, it will pollute the soil and water environment.
3. How to deal with hazardous waste? While establishing an incentive mechanism for community hazardous waste collection,
also promotes the construction of a terminal processing system to form a closed loop of hazardous waste collection, transportation, storage, sorting and disposal. Toxic and hazardous wastes are specially collected and handed over to hazardous waste disposal plants with a "Hazardous Waste Business License" and corresponding hazardous waste codes. The standard for illegal disposal of hazardous waste is. The illegal disposal of more than three tons of hazardous waste was determined to seriously pollute the environment, constituting the crime of environmental pollution.
