2. SYNOPSIS Introduction Definition Kind of Waste Classification of Waste Effect of Poor Treatment Benefits from Treatment Waste Treatment Policies Conclusion References

3. INTRODUCTION Waste Treatment is all those activities and action required to manage Waste from its inception to its final disposal. The include amongst other things, collection, transport, treatment and disposal of Waste together with monitoring and regulation. It also encompasses the legal and regulatory framework the related to Waste Treatment encompassing guidance on recycling etc.

4. DEFINITION This term is assigned to the material, Waste material that is produced through Human being activity. This material is managed to avoid its adverse effect over Human Health and Environment.

5. KIND OF WASTE SOLID WASTE :- Waste in solid forms, Domestic, Commercial and Industrial Waste. Eg: Plastic, Bottles, Scrap ion, Cans, Papers and other trash. LIQUID WASTE :- Waste in liquid forms. Eg: Domestic washings, Chemical, Oils, Manufacturing industries and other sources.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE Solid Waste WASTE E- Waste Radioactive Waste Bio-Medical Waste Agriculture Waste Industrial Waste

7. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE Solid waste that include household garbage, rubbish, construction & demolition debris, sanitation residues, packaging material, trade refuges etc are managed by any municipality.

8. BIO-MEDICAL WASTE Solid or liquid wastes including containers, intermediates or end products generated during diagnosis, treatment & research activities of Medical science.

9. INDUSTRIAL WASTE Liquid and solid wastes that are generated by manufacturing & processing units of various industries like chemical petroleum, coal, metal gas, sanitary & paper etc.

10. AGRICULTURAL WASTES Waste generated from farming activities. These substance are mostly biodegradable.

11. RADIOACTIVE WASTE Waste containing Radioactive material usually these are byproduct of Nuclear Processes. Sometimes industries that are not directly involved in Nuclear activities, many also produce some Radioactive wastes. Eg: Radioactive Isotopes, Chemical Sludge etc.

12. E - WASTES Electronic wastes generated from any modern establishment. They may be described as discarded electrical or electronic devices. Some electronic scrap components such as CRTs, may contain contaminate such as Pb , Cd , Be or Brominates flame retardants.

13. EFFECT OF POOR TREATMENT ENVIRONMENT EFFECT: Surface & Ground water contamination soil contamination Environment Pollution ECONOMIC EFFECT: Aesthetic Effect Disease Outbreaks Recycling Revenue

14. BENEFITS FROM TREATMENT Save valuable time and resources during an incident . Allows more efficient and effective waste management decision making during an incident. Encourages stakeholders to work together before an incident occurs. Enhances communities adaptation to the waste related impacts of climate change.

15. WASTE TREATMENT POLICIES Environment Protection act, 1986 Hazardous waste rule, 1989 Bio-Medical waste rule, 1998 Municipal solid waste rule, 2000 Waste Management act, 1996 Solid waste Policy in India, 2006

16. CONCLUSION Today population is increasing day by day, also the rate of waste is increasing, so we have to aware people about managing waste, like by throwing waste in different dustbins, using the concepts of 3R’s etc.
