Hazardous wastewater is a major threat to aquatic ecosystems. Hazardous water, which includes wastewater from industrial processes, chemicals, and pollutants, poses severe risks if not properly managed. Effective hazardous water management involves proper containment, treatment, and disposal methods, ensuring that dangerous substances are not released into the environment. ITS has an obligation to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our natural resources and mitigating the potential harms of hazardous water as a form of environmental protection.
ITS Hazardous and Toxic Waste (B3) report which 50-75% is handled separately by grouping, collecting and submitting B3 originating from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Chemistry, Materials, Biology, Machinery and Laboratories. Energy and Environment to a certified third party. In preventing water system pollution, ITS has procedures regarding hazardous waste treatment. The following are examples of preventative programs:
- Create a B3 waste management flow at ITS.
- Temporary storage of medical waste in containers and freezers.
- Storage of B3 waste for academic activities in the ITS laboratory in containers and jerry cans.
- The transportation of ITS laboratory B3 waste is carried out with the cooperation of third parties.
