When garbage is going to be burned it is brought to an incinerator. These incinerators reduce the mass of the original waste by 80% and the volume by 95%. Incineration is particularly helpful with hazardous and clinical waste whose toxins can be destroyed by the high temperature.
Most of them ! They need to be able to incinerate hazardous waste - such as used bandages, gauze etc.
d) none of the above....the whole point of incinerators is to dispose of most kinds of waste.
Find a way to incinerate waste without allowing lead to escape. apex
No. Burning waste material results in pollutants being introduced into the air and environment which presents an expensive health hazard and can be costly to clean up. Also most waste is not entirely consumed by fire so measures must still be taken to dispose of what is left. Most of what is burned is food leftovers, wood and plants. Instead of becoming ashes, this biological material can be composted to be recycled as useful topsoil material. Metal and plastic waste including containers and electronics can also be recycled and reused.
Most waste and garbage are deposited in landfills, which are designated areas for the disposal of waste materials. Some waste is also burned in waste-to-energy facilities for energy production. Recycling and composting are other methods used to reduce the amount of waste deposited in landfills.
The most common type of waste found in landfills is municipal solid waste, which includes household garbage, packaging materials, and other everyday items. This waste typically consists of a mixture of organic and inorganic materials.
it is not c because i got it wrong
The type of waste found in most landfills includes household garbage, construction debris, electronic waste, and organic material like food waste and yard trimmings. These materials can take a long time to break down and may generate harmful gases and leachate if not managed properly.
Most household waste materials are not only free to recycle into useful things but you can also get paid to remove them
I am going to guess you mean incinerators, which are high temperature ovens that reduce most anything that goes in them to ash.
Most heavy metals in household waste come from common household items like electronics, batteries, pesticides, cleaning products, and treated wood. These heavy metals can leach into the environment if not properly disposed of, posing risks to human health and ecosystems. Recycling and proper disposal of these items are important to prevent environmental contamination.
