The document discusses hazardous waste management following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It identifies main types of hazardous waste in Banda Aceh and the region, including oil spillages, redundant oil in drums and tanks, medical waste, pesticides and fertilizers, refrigerants, batteries, and asbestos in rubble. It also discusses approaches to managing these wastes, such as raising awareness, training environmental officials, establishing legal standards, implementing treatment processes, identifying suitable sites, and establishing a funding system.

HAZARDOUS WASTE: ASSESSMENT and CLEAN-UP PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM HAZARDOUS WASTE:
KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
PEMERINTAH DAERAH Waste is hazardous when it contains properties that might make it harmful to NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
our health or the environment.
Main Components of Hazard Waste: Engine Oil – Waste Oil Electronic Equipment
KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM Asbestos Oil contaminated Soil Batteries
Health Care Waste
Fertilizer & Pesticides Sources of Hazard Waste ? Pesticide/Fertilizer storage: 2 locations Poor storage practice BUT no remains visible KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP Distributed through region?
Clinics, Health Posts, Hospitals:
Health Care / Medical Waste - Infectious and none infectious Batteries; Accumulators Lab Chemicals PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
Harbour Oil Retail facility:
Harbour location: washed away 3 x underground containers remain (locked) Drums and slick distributed Fuel trucks? Workshops / Garages: Asbestos (Gaskets) Engine Oil Batteries, Accumulators Adhesives Sources of Hazard Waste ? Krueng Raya Oil Storage: 40km North of Banda Aceh 3 tanks (20% full) distributed Full drums within rubble KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP Contaminated soils from oil Oil Slick

ASBESTOS: Definition
• Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral
KEMENTERIAN that has been in use on a commercial scale LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
for about 150 years
• Ideal for: PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM – Fireproofing – Insulating material
• Hazardous to human health if inhaled – fibres enter lungs
Asbestos Fibre ASBESTOS: Common Uses
The major uses for asbestos materials in buildings
are:
KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
Sprayed asbestos and lagging
PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
Asbestos cement
Asbestos insulating board
ASBESTOS: Hazards to Human Health
• Asbestos not dangerous if undamaged and left
in-situ KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
BUT • If disturbed or damaged small asbestos fibres released are dangerous to human health • Breathing-in asbestos fibres can eventually lead PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
to a number of fatal diseases including:
- asbestosis or fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs - lung cancer - mesothelioma, a cancer of the inner lining of the chest wall or abdominal cavity • Diseases can take up from 15 to 60 years to develop • There is no cure for asbestos-related diseases Main Types of Hazardous Waste: Banda Aceh and Region Oil spillages in soil/concrete
Redundant Oil (drums/tanks)

• Identify and analyse for risk assessment
KEMENTERIAN
• Decide: “leave & encapsulate” or
LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
“dig & dump”
• Ensure safe disposal in controlled landfill
PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
• Ensure Health & Safety during works
• Register sites where left and encapsulated
Household & Small Industry Haz. Wastes
• Provide (setup) treatment and disposal
options; including recycling KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
• Provide training on handling during
sorting of tsunami wastes with PPE PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
• Support small scale recycling and reuse
operations
• Coordinate with ongoing solid waste
management Example: Batteries & Accumulators Components of a Battery

-Poly Propylene -Sulphuric Acid PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM -Lead -Metal Grids
PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM Session: Medical Wastes Pesticides & Fertilizers
- Locate and register with classification
KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
- Improve storage (if required) in
adequate warehouses PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM - If waste, controlled storage in bins - Substitute with organic fertilizer = compost - Central waste storage and treatment Asbestos
• Register location and condition of Asbestos
Containing Materials (ACM) KEMENTERIAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
• Assess risk that someone may be exposed to
these materials
• Decide whether to “leave and label” or to
PEMERINTAH DAERAH NANGGROE ACEH DARUSSALAM
remove
• If leave: record and monitor
• If remove: equip workers and ensure safe
