Matching each hazardous waste with its description is shown below :

<u>Hazardous waste                            description</u>

Asbestos : substance known to cause lung cancer; found in older landfills

Mercury : Substance found in computer monitors that causes brain damage

Cadmium: Hazardous cancer agent found in the batteries of many devices

Lead :  Substance from thermostats known to cause reproductive issues

Too much exposure to these hazardous waste always leave a negative effect on the health of individuals, Asbestos are used in the roofing of older buildings and can be found in older landfills. the fiber from asbestos affects the Lungs ( alveoli ) of humans which might lead to lung cancer.

Mercury are used for PC's backlight and also in the mother board of modern computers too much exposure to mercury can lead to brain damage.

Cadmium are hazardous cancer causing agent used in making industrial batteries, prolonged exposure to lead poses several health risk which includes reproductive issues because lead can cut across placenta barrier between a pregnant woman and unborn child.

Hence we can conclude that matching each waste to its description is as

Asbestos : substance known to cause lung cancer; found in older landfills

Mercury : Substance found in computer monitors that causes brain damage

Cadmium: Hazardous cancer agent found in the batteries of many devices

Lead :  Substance from thermostats known to cause reproductive issues

What do you feel really got the biotech industry started and how was it different from what came before it? g
lianna [129]

Answer:

When the human being realized that he could use living beings or their derivatives to produce products of human interest on a large scale, the biotech industry started. This sector was different from what existed before it, because it used tiny elements such as proteins, bacteria and DNA, to manufacture the products.

Explanation:

As you may already know, biotechnology is the science that allows the use of living beings and their derivatives for the manufacture of biological products much needed in human daily life. Biotechnology has been used since the beginning by mankind. This can be seen in the manufacture of bread and wine, for example. However, this science only became something industrial, when the human being realized that it was advantageous to use organisms for the production of products on a large scale.

This was an industrial innovation, since until then, the industry did not use organisms and elements so small for the production of its products.
