Industrial and hazardous waste

OECD

Abstract

Some waste streams, such as hazardous waste, nuclear waste and industrial waste are of particular concern since they entail serious environmental risks if badly managed. Hazardous waste is mainly generated by industrial activities. The amounts produced and their composition are largely driven by production patterns. Their impacts on the environment relate mainly to toxic contamination of soil, water and air.
