Dangers of Hazardous Waste
January 13, 2020
Effects of Hazardous Waste
There are typically four types of hazardous waste; flammable materials, explosive materials, toxic materials, and things that can decompose. Hazardous materials include blood, certain chemicals, batteries, illegal drugs, pesticides, paints, automotive fluids, and more. Not cleaning up hazardous waste in a timely and efficient manner can have serious effects on your health and the environment. When there is hazardous waste on your property, you must have it cleaned up immediately to protect your health and the health of others. Below are the effects hazardous waste can have on your health and the environment.
Health Effects
Exposure to hazardous waste for just a short time can cause skin irritation, headaches, and nausea. However, prolonged exposure to hazardous waste has much more serious effects on your health. Hazardous waste can cause cancer, physical deformities, behavioral issues, and chronic disease. If you are exposed to hazardous waste while pregnant, your baby can suffer from birth defects or genetic mutations.
Environmental Effects
Hazardous waste that is not taken care of can have serious effects on the environment. Hazardous waste can cause water pollution due to chemicals making their way to rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Just like humans, hazardous waste can also effect animal populations, often causing mutations and death.
