Advancements In Hazardous Waste Treatment Technologies: Environmental Impacts, Remediation Efficiencies, And Regulatory Frameworks

Abstract

This research investigates advancements in hazardous waste treatment technologies, focusing on their environmental impacts, remediation efficiencies, and alignment with regulatory frameworks. Employing a multidimensional approach, the study integrates quantitative data analysis and visualization techniques to comprehensively explore the landscape of these technologies. Remediation efficiencies were quantified through systematic data collection from scholarly articles, providing percentages for chemical, physical, and biological treatment methods. Regulatory compliance and framework changes were assessed by compiling data from regulatory documents and scholarly works, visualized using bar charts. Disadvantages associated with treatment technologies were analyzed quantitatively through character counts and qualitatively using pie charts. Environmental impacts were assessed through empirical data on soil contamination, water pollution, and air quality degradation, presented using bar charts. The study offers a nuanced understanding of these dimensions through various visual representations, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach in selecting appropriate technologies for sustainable hazardous waste management. The findings contribute to informed decision-making, guiding policymakers, industry professionals, and researchers in fostering environmentally responsible waste management practices.
