Toxic Waste

Toxic waste is waste material, often in chemical form, which can cause death or serious injury to living creatures. Normally toxic waste comes from industries or commerce, but can also come from the military, medical facilities, and a few other places.

The effects of toxic waste can be very harmful. The effects include birth defects, cancer, genetic mutation, or even death. Since toxic waste was disposed in many ways, dating back to the Industrial Revolution, there have been many places polluted with toxic waste.
