What are the Cons of Hazardous Waste in Our Environment?
Prior to 1970, the proper disposal of hazardous waste was not given much attention by nations, including the US and other industrialized countries. The statistics and increased incidence of human health disorders and other forms of disease in later years began to draw global attention. The high rate of incidence made it necessary to find out what seemed to be the cause. After intense research and studies were made, scholars and researchers traced most of these diseases to the high levels of pollution contributed by hazardous waste in our environment. Let us take a closer look at the consequences of hazardous waste as they occur in water, air and soil.
