A- According to the article Free, Safe and Secure Disposal For Unwanted Medications from The Thurson-Mason Senior news, flushing unwanted and expired medications in the toilet may be a risk to human health and the environment because the plants do not filter out medications and it can cause water contamination.According to the article again studies have found that in Wa state more than 9.6million of medications need to be disposed out of the state, most of these unwanted prescription medications are misused or obtained illegaly, but there are some communities that provide take-back programs.
B- I stongly believe that flushing medications and drugs in the toilet may cause a lot of problems like water contamination, but i also think that this problem can be resolved, there are some solutions like making people aware of the problem of water contamination, only buying what we need.
C-Hazardous : involving great risk
Ex: Drugs are considered Hazardous Materials
Leachate: The liquid produced when water percolates through any permeable material
Ex: Plants can not filter leachate.
Misused: used incorrectly or carelessly or for an improper purpose
Ex: misused words are often laughable but one weeps for misused talents
