What is a Hazardous
Hazardous
waste can be defined as
Waste?
waste that has the potential, even in low concentrations, to
have a significant adverse effect on public health and the
environment because of its inherent toxicological,
chemical and physical characteristics
Ignitable
It is an oxidizer
Corrosive
aqueous and has a PH less than or equal to 2 or greater than or
equal to 12.5
corrodes steel at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per
year
Solid when mixed with an equivalent weight of water has a PH
less than or equal to 2 or greater than or equal to 12.5.
Reactive
Normally unstable
Reacts violently with water/moisture
Forms an explosive mixture with water
Generates toxic gases when mixed with water
Capable of detonation when subject to a strong initiating force
Readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or
reaction at a standard temperature and pressure.
Toxic
Contains a listed carcinogen at a concentration greater than or equal
to 0.001% by weight.
Has an acute LD50 or LC50 less than the specified levels of 2,500
mg/Kg 10,000 ppm or 500 mg/l or LD 50 dermal less than 4,300
Mg/Hg.
Or experience or testing has shown it to be toxic.

Waste Labeling
Label must have the words:
Hazardous Waste
The name and address of
the generator (SDSU)
The waste composition
and physical state
Percent volume
Type of Hazard, ie.
Flammable, Corrosive,
Toxic
Waste Labeling
Needs improvement!!
Waste Minimization
Key methods for waste
minimization
Reduce
Purchase only what you need
Reuse
Reuse empty containers to collect
waste
Discarded material could be used in
another projects
Recycle
Some waste oils and paints can be
recycled
Remember that Paper, Metals and
some Plastics can be recycled
Disposal Methods
Two Alternatives:
1. Sanitary landfills
