Legislation at the federal level establishes a framework for managing dangerous discards from their point of creation until ultimate disposal. This comprehensive structure encompasses identification, tracking, permissible treatment methods, and secure disposal protocols for materials posing risks to human health and the environment.

This type of regulatory act is vital for protecting communities and ecosystems from the harmful effects of improperly managed contaminants. Its enactment and subsequent amendments reflect growing scientific understanding of toxicology and the long-term consequences of environmental pollution, creating a safer and more sustainable world.
