Describe the industrial waste.
Industrial waste is the waste produced by industrial activity which includes any
material that is rendered useless during a manufacturing process such as that
of factories, industries, mills, and mining operations. Types of
industrial waste include dirt and gravel, masonry and concrete, scrap metal,
oil, solvents, chemicals, scrap lumber, even vegetable matter from restaurants.
Industrial waste may be solid, liquid or gaseous. It may be hazardous or
non-hazardous waste. Hazardous waste may be toxic, ignitable, corrosive,
reactive, or radioactive. Industrial waste may pollute the air, the soil, or
nearby water sources, eventually ending up in the sea. Industrial waste is often
mixed into municipal waste, making accurate assessments difficult.
