Kerosene is a light oil distilled from petroleum or shale oil and consists of a complex mixture of several hydrocarbons, no one of which stands out as a primary hazardous constituent. Constituents include, in alphabetical order:
Benzene
Butadiene
Cyclohexane
Cyclohexene
Cyclopropane
Ethyl benzene
Methylcyclohexene
n-Heptane
n-Hexane
Naphthalene
Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, PNAs)
Toluene
Xylenes
Although benzene may be specifically removed before the product is marketed.
Yes. It is toxic and inflammable. On a body of water it would form a film blocking oxygen from the air, and could be ingested by animals when drinking or trying to clean it from their fur or feathers. (An old way of destroying the malaria mosquito was to spray its breeding swamps with oil.)

Hazardous wastes are materials that are to be discarded (i.e. are wastes) but can be a danger to people or to the environment and meet the definition based on the identity of the material or on test results. If hazardous wastes are mixed with the nonhazardous wastes, the result is a hazardous waste. A non-hazardous waste is something that is to be discarded (i.e is a waste) but does not meet the definition of a hazardous waste.

You are allowed to mixed a non-hazardous waste with a hazardous waste
It depends on the waste material. Methods appropriate for chemical hazards would not be so for nuclear waste.
hazardous waste proliferation is the rapid increasing of hazardous waste.
