Answer 1

Hazardous Waste

The hazardous and dangerous waste materials which can be dangerous for the public and environmental health are known as hazardous waste. These waste materials cannot be decomposed or destroyed easily and many times these substances can be very dangerous at the time of decomposing or destroying. These elements consist of batteries, plastic bags, paints, and several chemicals. The transportation of these waste products is very important so that the environment where the general people are living cannot be affected. In the process of hazardous waste transportation, we extract all the hazardous waste products and collect them at a place far away from where people or any living organism live and then we decompose or use those waste in different uses.

Now let discuss some methods through which hazardous waste transportation is the safest.

The obvious and safest transportation method through which the hazardous waste materials are transported is through large trucks which are made up of strong metals in which huge amounts of waste materials can be transported from one place to another which is truly cheap and quick. As trucks can be moved around the city easily and visit all the places where they can get those waste items and then dump them far away from the city in the dumping station. These trucks are using huge containers which are fully sealed from all sides so there is no chance of falling any waste products from the truck while transporting from one place to another and also it keeps the general public from the waste at a safe distance as there is a wall between the outside public and waste inside the container.
