Abstract: Abstract There has been great concern about producing, converting, or disposing of the waste obtained from different sources. Waste production is a continuous phenomenon that can be minimized by taking certain measures; however, it cannot be eliminated completely. The wastes produced along with various useful processes, such as industrial operations or natural processes, may have hazardous effects on the living organisms. The hazards brought about by natural calamities or man-made operations can affect the integrity of the natural environment and the living entities in the worst possible ways. An insight into the hazardous effects and the associated causes intensifies the need to develop hazard management strategies. Hazard management policies have garnered prodigious attention due to the disastrous effects of hazardous materials. The hazard management policies are being addressed at the government as well as the individual levels benefitting mankind. Worldwide, different countries are working on hazard management in different capacities, depending upon the available resources. Attempts are being made to manage hazardous products obtained from different sources without the natural sources being worn out, ensuring environmental sustainability. The general escalation in world pollution, making it unfit for living organisms, ruining the aesthetic beauty of the environment, etc., has given rise to great concerns about waste management. The control and management of waste products have become the hottest topic being discussed on various platforms like symposia, workshops (both National and International), conferences, and a demanding topic in many journals. Considering the dire need for knowledge and awareness about waste management, this review focuses on the causes and effects of the hazards and measures being taken at different levels.
