Introduction
Approx. 43,936 industries in India generate over 70 lakh tonnes of hazardous waste annually. Improper storage of hazardous chemicals- both products and wastes-incompatible inspection of containment materials, using hazardous products when non-hazardous products are available and inadequate training of staff are some of the leading causes of environmental contamination. Contamination can come in many forms- Some examples of contamination are ground and surface water, land, air, radioactive, food, noise, molds, odor, construction, vibration, etc. and invariably, if these contaminants are not properly dealt with, will result in pollution and in certain situations serious health problems.
To prevent environment contamination, proper storage of hazardous chemicals, proper inspection of the containment materials and using non-hazardous products are important. Hazardous waste management is the reduction of the amount of hazardous substances which are produced, reducing the toxicity of the hazardous waste and applying techniques/methods to reduce the exposure to waste. The hazards to health of humans are referred to in medical terms as toxicity, and hazardous waste can be of different forms like water contamination, air pollution, food contamination, construction … etc. Disposing of untreated hazardous wastes can affect the health of workers and also the immediate surroundings.
In order to dealt with these issues stakeholders need to upgrade their skills towards Hazardous Waste Management. Hence, ESCI is organizing this 2 days Training Programmes which will give the details on types of hazardous, Non-Hazardous, contaminants and the new frontiers in eliminating or minimizing these wastes. This course provides complete details on Management & Prevention of Hazardous Waste.
