According to your discussion, it is true that people enjoy the benefits of modern chemicals. The manufacture of those chemicals is essential because it has many uses for the people. Modern chemicals like the anhydrous ammonia may be used to improve the soil quality because of their application like fertilizers that increase nutrients to the land. I agree with your discussion that when the chemicals get disposed of negatively, they affect the environment.
I concur with the information you gave that when handling dangerous chemicals, there should be a lot of care because of the effects they have on the surrounding. There is a need to ensure hazard wastes get appropriately handled because when they are left and come into contact with the environment, the impacts are higher than the benefits they can have to the people. Yilmaz (2017) indicates that risks that come with dangerous wastes both in public and private sectors are substantial, and thus there is a necessity to ensure that prevention takes place to make sure the risks get reduced. I support the discussion on the effects that come with dangerous wastes coming into contact with the environment. Hazardous waste can cause contamination in the situation where disposal occurs, which affects people and animals living in that area (Barton, 2020). For instance, the beach park chemical spill led to people’s death, and others got hospitalized because of the inhaling of chemicals leaking from a vehicle. Waste and chemical management is the solution for the reduction of the risks associated with dangerous wastes. In conclusion, there is a need to properly handle hazardous waste to ensure a reduction of the effects it has on the people and environment.
