Hazardous waste characterization implications of updating the toxicity characteristic list

In the US, the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) determines if a waste is toxicity characteristic (TC) hazardous based on leached concentrations of specific chemicals. The TC limits were originally derived from drinking water standards (DWS) adjusted by a dilution attenuation factor of 100. The TC limits have not been updated along with DWS revisions. This research examines potential implications of updating the TC limits to...
