Causes

Some industries generate toxic and hazardous wastes.

Industrial concentrations generate large quantities of wastes.

These wastes are difficult to dispose of properly.

Proper disposal of toxic and hazardous waste may require new and evolving technologies.

Effects

If improperly disposed, the propagation of these wastes will produce negative impacts on the ecosphere, and may endanger fragile ecosystems.

Many hazardous wastes are carcinogenic.

Shallow burial of hazardous wastes may not be enough to isolate them for generations to come.

Solution

To the extent practicable, regulate [with aim to eventually prohibit] the production of the most dangerous hazardous wastes [radioactive wastes].

Research and develop innovative ways of using toxic and hazardous wastes in the biogeochemical cycles of nature [Find the bugs that will use the wastes in their metabolism].

Nature is the best recycler.

This is "Bioenvironmental Engineering."
