3, people can mix the nature of the transportation of incompatible and unsafe disposal of hazardous wastes.

4, the transfer of hazardous wastes, must be filled in accordance with the provisions of the hazardous waste transfer joint bill, and to the hazardous waste removal and acceptance of the local people's government at or above the county level of the administrative department of environmental protection report.

5, it is prohibited to hazardous wastes and passengers on the same means of transportation.

6. Facilities and equipment for the transportation of hazardous wastes must be treated to eliminate pollution before they are used when they are transferred to other uses.

7, the transportation of hazardous wastes, should receive professional training; after passing the examination, before engaging in the transportation of hazardous wastes.

English name: Hazardous waste

According to the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution, hazardous waste refers to the wastes that are listed in the national list of hazardous wastes or are recognized as having hazardous characteristics according to the standards and methods for identifying hazardous wastes stipulated by the state.

According to the National Hazardous Waste List, hazardous waste is defined as:

Solid and liquid wastes with one of the following conditions are included in this list:

1. Those with one or more hazardous characteristics such as corrosiveness, toxicity, flammability, reactivity, or infectiousness;

2. Those that do not exclude the hazardous characteristics, and may cause harmful effects to the environment or human health, and need to be treated in accordance with the requirements of the National Hazardous Waste Control Law. Human health may cause harmful effects, need to be managed in accordance with hazardous waste.

How much of this transboundary movement of hazardous waste is difficult to quantify, but it is clearly growing. According to a Greenpeace survey, developed countries are transferring hazardous wastes to developing countries on a scale of 50 million tons per year, and from 1986 to 1992, developed countries have transferred a total of 163 million tons of hazardous wastes to developing countries and Eastern European countries. The transboundary movement of hazardous wastes poses a non-negligible hazard to the environment of developing countries and the world at large. Firstly, since the importing countries basically lacked the technical and economic means to treat and dispose of hazardous wastes, the importation of hazardous wastes would inevitably lead to damage to the local ecological environment and the health of the population. Secondly, the proliferation of hazardous wastes to underdeveloped regions is in fact a way of evading the disposal responsibilities of their own countries, so that hazardous wastes are not properly treated and disposed of but spread into the environment, and the long-term accumulation of the results will inevitably jeopardize the global environment. The danger of transboundary movements of hazardous wastes is also that these wastes enter the country under the guise of trade, and the importers enter in order to reap economic benefits, with no regard for their possible impact on the environment and human health, so they are not properly treated and disposed of. The transboundary movement of hazardous wastes has become one of the serious global environmental problems, and if no measures are taken to control it, it is bound to cause serious harm to the global environment.In March 1989, under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal was adopted in Basel, Switzerland. In May 1992, the Convention entered into force. China is a signatory to the treaty.
