Hazardous waste refers to the waste with toxic, corrosive, infectious, radioactive and other characteristics generated in production, scientific research, medical and other activities. In order to effectively control and reduce the harm of hazardous waste to the environment and human body, all countries have implemented corresponding waste discharge standards.
In China, the State Environmental Protection Department is responsible for formulating and supervising the implementation of hazardous waste discharge standards. According to relevant laws and regulations, enterprises must classify, package, label and store hazardous waste in accordance with regulations, and follow the corresponding waste treatment process to ensure that it does not cause pollution to the environment.
In addition, discharge standards for specific hazardous wastes will vary. For example, for waste containing heavy metals, the emission standards will be more stringent, requiring enterprises to take additional treatment measures to ensure that the waste meets the national discharge standards after treatment and cannot cause pollution to soil and water sources.
Overall, hazardous waste discharge standards are an important measure to protect the environment and human health. Through strict implementation of emission standards, the environmental risks caused by hazardous waste can be effectively reduced and the life and health safety of the public can be guaranteed.
