Abstract

Solid waste not only causes disease, stench, and ugliness of landscapes but also can cause great damage by contaminating soil, water, and air and endangering the health of humans and other living organisms. Due to the different composition of the wastes, the hazards of their constituents can also be different. In the solid waste management process, the collection, transportation, and disposal of these materials should be in such a way that their human and environmental risks would be minimized. This chapter briefly discusses different definitions of municipal and hazardous waste, their sources of production and components, as well as their health and environmental effects. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
