چکیده

Population expansion, urbanization and industrialization of cities on the one hand and the rapid growth of technology, access to new production processes, replacement of synthetic materials instead of natural fibers and synthesis of thousands of types of chemical substances and compounds on the other hand produce solid and liquid hazardous wastes. Hazardous waste is generated at various stages of exploration, transportation, manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the product. At each stage, the hazardous waste management system requires special facilities and equipment, which include land, structures and other belongings that are used to store, recycle, recover, treat or dispose of hazardous waste. In this regard, intelligent management of hazardous waste using up-to-date methods and facilities, including the Internet of Things (IoT), is of great importance. Based on this, hazardous waste management facilities are divided into three general categories: recycling / recovery, treatment and disposal on land, and in each category, different methods have been studied. This paper also describes how to use the IoT at different stages of hazardous waste management. Studies show that the use of IoT can increase the efficiency of all hazardous waste management chains.
