Hazardous Waste Management (HWM) in developed and developing
countries faces several challenges. Such waste requires special attention throughout all
its stages of management to avoid the contamination of soil, groundwater and surface
water. In this regard, the growing amount of waste generated has made it increasingly
important to develop strategies to manage waste safely through accurate disposal
practices. Reducing, reusing and recycling waste is the most effective way to create a
safe waste management in a suitable environmentally friendly way. Therefore, every
country should adopt a policy to reduce the polluted impacts on environmental and
global health.
