Waste is considered toxic if it is poisonous, radioactive, explosive, carcinogenic (causing cancer), mutagenic (causing damage to chromosomes), teratogenic (causing birth defects), or bioaccumulative (that is, increasing in concentration at the higher ends of food chains). Waste containing dangerous pathogens, such as used syringes, is sometimes considered to be toxic waste. Poisoning occurs when toxic waste is ingested, inhaled, or absorbed by the skin.
