ANSWER: All the following options are included in the category of hazardous waste but radioactive waste is neither exceptionally harmful nor difficult to manage compared to other wastes.

EXPLANATION:

  • Toxic Waste: Any undesirable material that poses a risk to human health is considered toxic waste. The harmful compounds found in many modern household products, including phones, computers, and televisions, can pollute the air and contaminate soil and water.
  • Reactive Waste: Reactive waste includes anything that Explodes or reacts violently when exposed to water or under typical handling circumstances. when in contact with water or under normal handling circumstances, emits hazardous vapours or gases.
  • Corrosive Waste: Strongly acidic or alkaline materials are examples of corrosive waste. Using a chemical reaction, they instantly obliterate both living tissue and solid objects.
  • Radioactive Waste: Hazardous waste that contains radioactive substances is referred to as radioactive waste. Numerous operations, such as nuclear medicine, nuclear research, and nuclear energy production, produce radioactive waste.

All these wastes are hazardous for humans as well as for nature if they are not handled with care.

Therefore we can consider radioactive waste as nonhazardous in comparison with other wastes.
