Structure and Dynamics of Household Hazardous Wastes (original) (raw)

This research investigates the composition and potential hazards of Household Hazardous Wastes (HHW) as a significant contributor to landfill environmental impacts. Through a series of studies, relationships between socioeconomic factors and HHW discard rates were identified, suggesting a need for improved management strategies. Findings indicate that while HHW represents a small fraction of household refuse, its total volume is substantial, leading to noteworthy implications for waste management policies.
