Abstract
Many products are classified as hazardous waste when they are disposed at the end of their useful life. These products contain materials that are corrosive, flammable, reactive or toxic. Some toxic chemicals, such as lead and mercury are persistent and bioaccumulative, meaning they remain in the environment indefinitely and accumulate in and harm living things. When products containing these toxic compounds are disposed in landfills, the toxic chemicals can leach into underground drinking water supplies.
