IMPACT OF TOXIC
AND HAZARDOUS
WASTES

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS WASTES ARE NOT
PROPERLY MANAGED?
4
POLLUTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT
 River, sea, groundwater
polluted.
 Fish/ aquatic life/ marine life
affected.
 Drinking water source polluted.
 Aesthetic value affected.
5
HUMAN HEALTH EFFECTS
 Water-borne and air-borne
diseases, contaminated soil.
 Miscarriage.
 Cancer.
 Internal organs damage.
6
INCREASE IN CLEAN-UP AND
DISPOSAL COSTS
o
Increase in cost for the
clean-up of toxic wastes.
o
Increase in cost for the
disposal of toxic wastes.

INCIDENT OF DISPOSAL OF TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS WASTE
MINAMATA POISONUOUS
MERCURY INCIDENT–Year 1956
 Organic forms of mercury such as
methyl mercury having caused
hundreds of cases of paralysis
and sensory loss along Minamata
Bay in Japan.
 Methyl mercury from chemical
plant was discharged to the
waterway since 1932 and then
bio-accumulated in shellfish and
taken up in the food chain of
community.

INCIDENT OF DISPOSAL OF TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS WASTE
TOXIC WATES
CONTAMINATION- LOVE
CANAL,NEW YORK,USA
1940’s to 1950’s
 Illegal disposal of toxic
wastes (buried).
 School and housing
were built on top of the
disposal site.
 Severe health problems
affected school children
and residents.

INCIDENT OF DISPOSAL OF TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Malaysian Cases
o In March 1995, 41 drums of Potassium Cyanide
(KCN) from a Penang chemical firm was found
dumped on Pangkor Island.
o In June 2004, 12,000 tons of toxic wastes from
Taiwan was found at a brick making factory in Johor.
o In January 2006, ammonia leaked from 300 tonnes
of aluminium oxide wastes illegally dumped in Labis,
Johor.

DEFINITION OF WASTE
“waste” includes any matter
prescribed to be scheduled
waste, or any matter whether
in a solid, semi-solid or liquid
form, or in the form of gas or
vapour which is emitted,
discharged or deposited in
the environment in such
volume, composition or
manner as to cause pollution.
(Environmental Quality Act, 1974)
17
DEFINITION OF SCHEDULED WASTE
"scheduled wastes” means any
water prescribed by the Minister
in the regulations as scheduled
wastesal; (Environmental Quality
Act,1974)
"scheduled wastes" means any
waste falling within the
categories of waste listed in the
First Schedule; (Environmental
Quality (Scheduled Wastes)
Regulations 2005

IDENTIFICATION AND
CLASSIFICATION OF SCHEDULED
WASTES
IDENTIFICATION?
• Procedure of
determining
whether a specific
waste from an
industrial source
or process is
scheduled waste.
CLASSIFICATION?
• Procedure used
to specify the
classification of
waste and wastes
code
22
IDENTIFICATION AND
CLASSIFICATION OF SCHEDULED
WASTES
The identification of scheduled wastes
can be made through:Source of waste generated.
Types of process/ activities.
Physical and chemical compositions of
the waste.
Content/ element.
MSDS – Material Safety Data Sheet
dan CSDS – Chemical Safety Data
Sheet (of the raw materials used)
23
Examples of MSDS/CSDS
24
THE SOURCE OF THE WASTE
 At
the
source
of
generation of the waste,
it can be identified
whether the production
process or activity
uses materials that
may
contain
any
hazardous element or
compound.
25
THE TYPE OF PROCESS/ACTIVITY
In the production process
or activity it can be
identified whether input
materials will undergo
physical, chemical or
biological reaction which
may generate hazardous
material or by-product.
26
THE BASIC PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES OF THE WASTE
o By reviewing the input
materials
and
the
physical, chemical and
biological
production
processes, the likely type
of waste generated and
their properties can be
identified.

LIST OF SCHEDULED WASTES
Scheduled wastes are listed in the First Schedule,
Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) 2005,
Environmental Quality Act, 1974.
4 groups/categories of scheduled wastes:SW 1 Metal and metal-bearing wastes
SW 2 Wastes containing principally inorganic constituents
which may contain metals and organic materials
SW 3 Wastes containing principally organic constituents
which may contain metals and inorganic materials
SW 4 Wastes which may contain either inorganic or organic
constituents
SW 5 Other wastes
77 types of scheduled wastes
30
LIST OF SCHEDULED WASTES
Scheduled wastes described in the First Schedule are
based on the following:
Names of materials, chemicals or wastes
Metals, elements, compounds or constituents present
in the wastes
Types of processes
Usage and application
Contamination
Activity
Thus, scheduled wastes can be generated from many
activities
31

BASIC PROPERTIES OF SCHEDULED WASTE
The physical properties of the waste can be
observed through its:
