toxic waste

Hazardous, poisonous substances, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT).

• Most states regulate the handling and disposing of toxic waste, and several federal statutes (such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), 42 USCA §§ 9601–9657) regulate the use, transportation, and disposal of toxic waste.
