What is Hazardous Waste Sampling and Testing?
Hazardous Waste Sampling and Testing is the scientific process of collecting representative waste samples and analysing them to determine their physical, chemical, and toxic characteristics.
The testing helps identify whether waste falls under hazardous waste categories as per applicable environmental regulations and provide information necessary for proper treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal.
Hazardous waste may include:
- Chemical Waste
- Industrial Sludge
- Paint Residues
- Solvent Waste
- Heavy Metal Contaminated Waste
- Oil & Grease Waste
- Pharmaceutical Waste
- Process Residues
- Contaminated Soil
- Incineration Ash
