Hazardous Waste Case Study

It is imperative to note that both the man made and the natural activities that take place in the world are susceptible to disasters. The disasters and hazards that take place are normally categorized into several divisions. They include the technological, regional, and the man made events that can interfere with the composition of the environment (Doody, 2014). At that point, it was necessary for the disposal of these hazardous wastes to take place thus leading to the pollution of the environment. As such, it was important for the hazardous waste to be managed in an appropriate manner to minimize these effects. Under this process, the reuse of hazardous wastes in civil engineering applications was one of the ways that would be useful in minimizing the effect on the environment. The objective of the paper is to study various methods that can be used in the management of hazardous wastes in civil engineering applications.

Introduction

According to (Gupta, 2012), the hazardous waste refers to any form of waste or a combination of several wastes that normally pose substantial danger to the environment. In this case, the environment is comprised of animals, human beings, and plants. In addition, the hazardous waste can only be disposed using specific conditions such as taking the necessary protective measures. Under the disasters and hazards, the

As such, it is important that they adopt and implement a strategy that will be useful in reducing the wastes, and reusing it at any given time (Saxena, 2013). Moreover, it is paramount that they adopt a recycling strategy that will help them to handle their waste in an appropriate and environmentally stable manner. One of the ways of doing this is by reduction of wastes at the initial source point using a suitable civil engineering
