Hazardous waste refers to materials that are dangerous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment due to their chemical properties. It includes substances that are ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic. Hazardous waste can be generated from various sources, such as industrial processes, laboratories, and agricultural activities. It may appear in chemicals, solvents, batteries, paints, or contaminated soil. These products are transported daily via highways, pipelines, railroads, and waterways.

While chemical manufacturers are familiar sources of hazardous materials, they are not the only ones. Hazardous waste disposal sites, service stations, and hospitals also contribute to the presence of these dangerous substances. You and your community face risks if these settings use or release harmful quantities of these chemicals into the environment where you live, work, or spend time.
