  11. Reasons for proper waste disposal • Hazardous chemicals down the drain can lead to pollution of ground water, lakes, rivers, etc. • Plants and animals will die if they are exposed to hazardous chemical waste. • Serious health problems will become present in people if hazardous waste finds its way into drinking water.
