Title: | Determining the dangerousness of waste | Authors: | Guta, Doina Batrinescu, Gheorghe Cuciureanu, Adriana |
Keywords: | Waste;Risk | Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | National Research and Development Institute for Industrial Ecology, INCD-ECOIND | Abstract: | Producers and holders of waste - legal entities - are forced to classify each type of waste generated by their activity in the national list of waste (for Romania, waste list is enclosed in the Government Decision no. 856/2002). Therefore, occur frequently requests to characterize the waste in order to their classification. This has made to be necessary a methodology to establish (in a consistent and reproducible manner that take into account the legislative provisions and the needs of those working in the production, transport and capitalization/waste disposal) the hazardous/non - hazardous nature of a waste. The methodology established and used in the INCD ECOIND Bucharest was based on Romanian legislation (legislation harmonized with the European one), which, however, is not able to make easy work of framing a waste. Methodology for determining the dangerousness of waste is laborious. A correct methodology requires as much information about the analyzed waste: data obtained from the client, from literature, from safety data sheets of the raw materials used in waste-generating processes or in waste – treating processes, from data obtained by analytical determinations performed on waste samples analyzed; it is important, therefore, to correctly identify the quality indicators to be determined. Further, the method includes identifying risk phrases of all determined or potential components existing in waste. The quantification of dangerous properties of analyzed waste samples is achieved by summing the total concentration of compounds that shows the same risk phrase, responsible for a particular dangerous property. To minimize the effort of applying this methodology, it was necessary to develop a database (with the names of substances, CAS Registry Number, molecular weight, solubility in water, risk phrases risk statements etc.) for the potential constituents of a wide variety of waste, database remaining open. |
