Talk:Toxic waste

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I completely disagree. Toxicity of waste relates to its potential to be toxic to living organisms. Hazardous waste refers to wastes that may be hazardous in some way - eg physically or risk of fire or injury. --Alex 12:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

The fish could eat some kind of toxic waste and we could end up eating that fish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.240.196.224 (talkcontribs). joel
