There are several types of environmental waste, each with its unique toxicological concerns:
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW): This includes household and commercial waste, which may contain toxic elements like batteries and electronic waste (e-waste). Industrial Waste: Often contains hazardous chemicals that can leach into soil and water, affecting both wildlife and humans. Agricultural Waste: Pesticides and fertilizers can lead to contamination of water bodies and soil, impacting local fauna and flora. Biomedical Waste: Includes medical residues that can pose biohazard risks if not disposed of properly.
