Many
synthetic substances were formulated in order to serve useful roles,
such as lubrication and fuel. However, these same substances also
happen to be pollutants, and are extremely dangerous to the
environment, animals, and people. Materials such as propane,
gasoline, motor oil, antifreeze, fertilizer, mercury, household
cleaning agents, and even certain types of paint are considered
hazardous, and need to be disposed of properly to prevent toxic
contaminations.
Due to
the danger it poses, hazardous waste cannot be dumped into a
landfill....
