Hazardous waste Hazardous waste is solid waste that possesses one or more of the following characteristics: corrosiveness, toxicity, flammability, or reactivity. In China, the main basis for definition is the Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste and the Directory of National Hazardous Wastes . Wastewater Total water discharged during residential activities and runoff rainwater. It includes domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, and initial rain runoff entering drainage systems. It also includes other non-potable water, which generally refers to water that cannot be reused after undergoing certain technical treatments or that cannot be purified to the required standards after primary treatment. Waste gas Toxic and harmful gases discharged during human production and daily activities. It includes emissions generated from industrial operations such as chemical plants, steel mills, pharmaceutical factories, coking plants, and oil refineries, as well as emissions arising from daily human activities. These gases are often odorous, significantly pollute the environment, and pose risks to human health. Greenhouse gases These are gases in the atmosphere that can absorb long-wave radiation reflected from the ground and re-emit radiation. Examples include water vapor, carbon dioxide, and most refrigerants. Greenhouse gases warm the Earth's surface, similar to how a greenhouse traps solar radiation and heats the air inside.
