Introduction
• Hazardous waste refers to any solid, liquid, gaseous material that
poses significant potential risk to human health and the environment

environment in Liberia. It includes materials that are ignitable,
corrosive, reactive, or toxic. The improper disposal of such waste
has led to increased diseases and environmental degradation
 Scope of Study Area
• The study focuses on hazardous waste management in Liberia,
with a particular emphasis on the capital city, Monrovia, and the
industrial area of Bushrod Island, where waste management
practices are critical due to dense population and industrial
activities.
Objectives
• To assess the current state of hazardous waste management in
Liberia.
• To identify the health and environmental impacts of hazardous
waste.

Methodology
• The methodology includes a review of literature from the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia, field surveys,
and interviews with local authorities and residents affected by
hazardous waste.
Mitigation Measures
• Mitigation measures involve educating the public on hazardous
waste, improving waste collection and disposal systems, and
enforcing regulations on waste management.
Conclusion
• Hazardous waste management in Liberia requires immediate
attention to prevent further health risks and environmental
harm. Collaboration between government agencies,
communities, and international partners is essential.
Recommendations
• Strengthen the capacity of the EPA and other relevant agencies.

• Implement community-based waste management programs.
