Definition and classification of hazardous waste
in Thailand
The management of hazardous waste is complicated by the
fact that “hazardous waste” is still not a well-defined term
in Thailand. According to the Hazardous Substance Act
1992, the term “hazardous waste” is applied to any waste
which exhibits, or which is contaminated with, hazardous
material, including explosive substances, flammable substances, oxidizing agents and peroxides, toxic substances,
substances causing disease, radioactive substances, mutantcausing substances, corrosive substances, irritating substances, and other substances, chemicals or otherwise, which
might cause injury to persons, animals, plants, properties, or
environments. The types of hazardous waste generated by
industrial and nonindustrial (community generated) sectors
are classified by their identification under the same Act.
