Définition

  • Toxic waste is waste material that can cause death or injury to living creatures. Waste is considered toxic if it is poisonous, radioactive, explosive, carcinogenic (causing cancer), mutagenic (damaging chromosomes), teratogenic (causing defects in the unborn), or bioaccumulative (accumulating in the bodies of plants and animals and thus in food chains).
