Basics

Page 3: 82 hazardous waste management

Fate of Toxins

Many are broken down by natural processes Two types persist in the environment

Heavy metals Synthetic organics

Page 4: 82 hazardous waste management

Heavy Metals

Lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, tin, chromium, zinc, copper.

Used in metal-working, paint, and pesticides, among other products

Soluble in water and readily absorbed by body. Interfere with enzyme function. Example: mental retardation from lead poisoning.

Page 5: 82 hazardous waste management

Synthetic Organics

Chemical basis for plastics, synthetic fibers and rubber, solvents, and pesticides.

Resistant to biodegradation. Major health effects: carcinogenic and mutagenic. Halogenated hydrocarbons

At least one of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with a halogen atomChlorine (most common)BromineFluorine Iodine

“ Hazardous waste” means any waste by reason of its

physical, chemical, reactive, toxic, flammable,

explosive or corrosive characteristics

causes danger or is likely to cause danger to health or environment, whether alone or when in contact

with other wastes or substances

Page 9: 82 hazardous waste management

Definition of Hazardous Wastes

In India, according to Hazardous waste Management & Handling Rules (MOEF Notification dated 20th May 2003-Part 2).

“Any substance, whether in solid, liquid or gaseous form, which has no foreseeable use and which by reasons of any physical, chemical, reactive, toxic, flammable, explosive, corrosive, radioactive or infectious characteristics causes danger or is likely to cause danger to health or environment, whether alone or when in contact with other wastes or environment, and should be considered as such when generated, handled, stored, transported, treated and disposed of”.

The Basel Convention defines hazardous wastes as follows : "Wastes" are substances or objects which are disposed of or are intended to be

disposed of or are required to be disposed of by the provisions of national law.

HW Characteristics and Generation

Page 11: 82 hazardous waste management

Regardless of concentration limit, classified as hazardous wastes if the waste exhibits any of the following characteristics

E1 Flammable Flammable wastes with flash point 65.6 °C or

below. Solid at STP capable of causing fire through friction,

moisture changes or spontaneous chemical changes Oxidizer

E2 Explosive Wastes which may explode under the effect of flame

heat and photochemical conditions. Any other waste of explosive materials included in

the Indian Explosive Act. Unstable Reactive with water Capable of detonation

Page 12: 82 hazardous waste management

Regardless of concentration limit, classified as hazardous wastes if the waste exhibits any of the following characteristics

E3Corrosive Wastes which may be corrosive, by chemical

action will cause severe damage when in contact with living tissue.

pH < 2 or pH > 12.5

E4 Toxic Wastes containing or contaminated with

established toxic and or eco-toxic constituents. EPA definition Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity and Endocrine

disruptivity Wastes contaminated or containing established

carcinogens, mutagens and endocrine disruptors.

Page 13: 82 hazardous waste management

Classification of Hazardous Wastes

Wastes can be classified under the following categories:-

• Explosive • Corrosive • Oxidizing • Flammable • Infectious • Irritant • Toxic • Toxic for reproduction • Harmful • Mutagenic• Exotoxic • Carcinogenic • Residuary hazardous property

Indian & Global HW Scenario

Page 16: 82 hazardous waste management

Generation of hazardous waste

• Hazardous wastes are generated from industrial processes, mining extraction, tailings from pesticide based agricultural practices, etc.

• Industrial operations generate considerable quantities of hazardous waste and in rapidly industrializing countries such as India the contribution to hazardous waste from industries is largest. Since industrial units are spread all over the country, the impacts are region-wide.

• States such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, TamilNadu, and Andhra Pradesh, which and have undergone relatively greater industrial expansion, face problems of toxic and hazardous waste disposal far more acutely than less developed states.

Page 17: 82 hazardous waste management

Global Scenario

Large manufacturing industries like chemical, metal, electrical, petroleum, transportation etc., generate hazardous wastes at the rate of more than 1000 kg/month/unit.

More than 80% of the world's hazardous waste is produced in the United States and other industrial countries.

300-500 million tons of heavy metals, solvents, toxic sludge, and other wastes accumulate every year from industry.

In developing countries, 70% of industrial wastes are dumped untreated into waters where they pollute the usable water supply.

Page 18: 82 hazardous waste management

7.2 million tonnes / year generated:

1.4 million tonnes are recyclable 0.1 million tonnes are incinerable 5.2 million tonnes are destined for disposal on land

80 percent of hazardous waste is generated:

Andhra Pradesh Gujarat Karnataka Maharashtra Tamil Nadu

Hazardous Waste Management in India

India is the second fastest growing economy. It accounts for ~ 20% of Asian and ~ 10% of global growth.

Page 19: 82 hazardous waste management

Hazardous waste market worth C$52 million in 2003 with annual growth of 7 percent until 2010

Sources of hazardous waste generation:

• Medical and pharmaceuticals • Scrap recycling (ship breaking industry) • Asbestos • Paints and dyes • Caustic soda producers • Pesticides and fertilizers • Petroleum and petrochemicals • Inorganic chemicals • mining extraction • tailings from pesticide based agricultural practices • general engineering

Rules & Conventions

Page 22: 82 hazardous waste management

Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal

The convention is ratified by 35 countries, it entered into force on 5th May, 1992. The main principle of the convention is to regulate the Transboundary movement of hazardous wastes with prior informed consent of the importing country and to ensure environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes. The convention seeks to prohibited the export of hazardous wastes without the consent of the importing country.

Page 23: 82 hazardous waste management

Basel Convention

Basel convention is an international environment agreement on “control of trans boundary movement and disposal of hazardous waste” which was drafed on 22nd March, 1989.

Basel BAN On 31st Dec, 1997 a “total ban” on the trans boundary movement was decided rather than “control” or the “partial transboundary movement” of hazardous waste from OECD (Organisation for Economic Corporation and Development) to non OECD.
