Which type of waste is classified as hazardous ?
Answer: A
The hazardous type is chemical waste.
Hazardous waste is waste that is toxic, corrosive, flammable or reactive and so poses a substantial danger to health or the environment. Chemical waste from industries and laboratories, such as solvents, acids, heavy metals and pesticides, falls squarely in this class and is regulated separately in India under the Hazardous and Other Wastes Rules.
Household, commercial and agricultural waste are classified by their source. They may contain some hazardous items, such as batteries or pesticide containers, but as classes they are general or non-hazardous waste, not hazardous waste.
