Question

Identify an example of a successful way to dispose of hazardous waste.

• A. Deep injection
• B. Well burn it in an incinerator plant
• C. Put it in a metal cask and throw it in the ocean
• D. Bury in a metal drum in a regular landfill

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Deep injection

Deep injection is a liquid waste disposal technology. This alternative uses injection wells to place treated or untreated liquid waste into geologic formations that have no potential to allow migration of contaminants into potential potable water aquifers.

Other methods result into pollution and are not a feasible solution.
