Toxic waste can harm the environment and public health if not properly disposed of. It includes chemical waste from manufacturing and mining activities that can contaminate soil and waterways. Improper disposal increases risk of water pollution and disease. Proper disposal methods include special landfill liners to prevent chemicals from leaking and precautions to protect the ecosystem. Reducing and recycling waste, strengthening disposal laws, and finding ways to break down waste compounds can help address the toxic footprint waste has already left.

2.  Anything that has been thrown away
that can still potentially harm its
surroundings and those who dwell in
them is considered toxic waste.

5.  This can be anything from:
*chemical waste
*materials left over from
manufacturing
*household garbage
e.g. cleaning solutions, batteries,
and non-biodegradable plastics.

7.  Toxic waste of mining activities
-Irreversible impacts on habitats,
ecosystem, endemic species and
biodiversity.
-Increase in suspended solids and the
potential production of acid rock
drainage.

9.  Proper Waste Disposal and Environmental
Health
-wastes that are not properly disposed of
can leak and contaminate soil and water
-special liners are used to prevent toxic
chemicals from leaking out and precautions
are taken
-can potentially benefit an entire
ecosystem.

10.  Proper Waste Disposal and Public
Health
-Pollution increases the risk of diseases.
-Waste that is properly disposed of has a
lesser chance of getting into the water
supply and causing illness.
-It helps to prevent additional pollution
which can improve public health.

12.  The footprint toxic waste has left on
our environment has already poisoned
our oceans, lakes, and rivers.
 Land-dwelling wildlife and insect
populations have also been greatly
affected by the amount of waste
generated by developed nations.

13.  Stunts plant growth, much of which is
useful to humans for consumption or
manufacturing.
 Dangerous for young, fledgling life
forms.

15.  Recycle as much waste as possible
such as water bottles, cans of
soda and other recycles.

16.  To reduce the amount of toxic
waste, new laws should be made
and implemented for dumping

17.  Industries could break down
compounds to make the waste
less dangerous to the
environment
