Why focus on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes?

 Global production of chemicals has increased from 1M tons

in 1930 to 400M at present
 More than 20M known substances
 Volume of production increases about 700 substances per
year
 Certain chemicals have caused
 Serious damages to human and the environment e.g. asbestos,
benzene, trichloroethane (TCA), trichloroethylene (TCE), DDT
 Incidence of some diseases has increased
 Some are persistent and becomes endocrine disruptor

 What are Hazardous Wastes?

• substances that are without any safe commercial,

industrial, agricultural or economic usage and are
shipped, transported or brought from the country of
origin for dumping or disposal into or in transit through
any part of the territory of the Philippines

• by-products, side-products, process residues, spent

reaction media, contaminated plant or equipment or
other substances from manufacturing operations and as
consumer discards of manufactured products which
present unreasonable risk and/or injury to health and
safety and to the environment
CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

Ignitable

Toxic Corrosive

Reactive
 Toxic Wastes

Toxic wastes are harmful or fatal when ingested, inhaled or

absorbed through the skin

Examples:
Spent cyanide solutions
Waste pesticides
 Reactive Wastes

Reactive wastes are unstable under ‘normal conditions’

They can cause:
 explosions
 toxic fumes
 gases or vapours

Examples:
 Peroxide solutions
 Hypochlorite solutions or solids
 Ignitable/Flammable Wastes

Ignitable wastes:
 can create fires under certain conditions
 or are spontaneously combustible

Examples:
Waste oils
Used solvents
Organic cleaning materials
Paint wastes
Finely divided metals
 Corrosive Wastes

Acids or alkalis that are capable of dissolving human flesh

and corroding metal such as storage tanks and drums

Examples:
acids from metals cleaning
processes e.g. ferric chloride from
printed circuit board manufacture
Pickling liquor from steel
manufacture
