Hazardous waste is a waste that is dangerous or potentially harmful to our health and environment. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids, gases, or sludge and have the following characteristics:

• Corrosiveness
• Ignitability
• Reactivity and
• Toxicity, which should be handled, stored, transported, and disposed in a controlled manner. It is thus important to know the chemical characteristics of any kind of waste that may be solid waste/municipal waste / sludge / slurry / hazardous waste, before storage / incineration / land filling or for any kind of use or handling.
