Abstract
Hazardous waste refers to the solid, semi-solid and liquid waste, which is defined by the national unified measures as toxic, flammable, explosive, corrosive, chemical reactivity, infectious and may be harmful to human health and the environment. Hazardous waste could cause serious environmental pollution, combustion, explosion, and other risky situations. Those wastes could also lead to poisoning such as carcinogenicity, teratogenicity for people through ingestion, inhalation, skin absorption, etc. Therefore the management of hazardous waste is very crucial.
