Question

imagine the two following scenarios: 1. you pour a small amount of non - halogenated solvent into the halogenated waste. 2. you pour a small amount of halogenated solvent into the non - halogenated waste. which damage analysis is right? a) they are equally bad b) small amounts dont matter - both are no problem c) 1. is worse than 2. d) 2. is worse than 1.

Explanation:

Halogenated solvents are more difficult to dispose of and can cause more environmental and safety - related issues. When a halogenated solvent is poured into non - halogenated waste, it contaminates the non - halogenated waste, making it more difficult to handle and dispose of properly. Pouring a non - halogenated solvent into halogenated waste is less of a problem as the non - halogenated solvent is less harmful and does not significantly change the nature of the halogenated waste's disposal requirements.

Answer:

d) 2. is worse than 1.
