If toxic waste is not disposed of correctly, it is going to wind up contaminating the air, the water, and/or the soil, and then it is going to be inhaled, or eaten or drank, and people will be poisoned by it, and while this may not immediately kill them, it will certainly have a bad effect on their health, of one form or another. Toxic waste also affects other living creatures besides human beings.

How you can be exposed to toxic waste?

Many different things have been done with toxic waste of various types. Some businesses have discharged their toxic waste in rivers, which flow into the ocean, or have discharged waste into the ocean directly; mercury in particular has been a problem in this regard, and now the fish in the ocean are contaminated with mercury, and if you eat fish, you are going to eat some of this toxic waste, that was eaten (or absorbed) by the fish. Waste discharged into lakes can wind up in the fresh water fish from those lakes. If toxic waste is buried in the ground, it can seep into aquifers and poison people's wells, or wind up contaminating farm crops. If toxic waste emerges as smoke from smokestacks, it contributes to toxic smog which you may wind up breathing. The only safe thing to so with toxic waste is to chemically process it to either recycle the toxic substance (mercury is very useful and can be reused) or to destroy the toxin (some toxins can be destroyed at high temperature).
