12. Regulations What is Hazardous Waste? The EPA defines wastes as hazardous if they exhibit a “characteristic”, or are on a “list” Four Characteristics of an EPA Hazardous Waste: IgnitabilityCorrosivityReactivityToxicity Determining if a Waste is Hazardous Is Your Waste Hazardous?

13. Introduction 1-8 (b) Ignitability Ignitability - flash point of less than 140  F Parts washer petroleum solvents Solvent-based paint waste Waste kerosene or gasoline

14. Introduction 1-8 (c) Corrosivity Corrosivity - pH less than or equal to 2.0, or greater than or equal to 12.5 Acid or alkaline cleaning solutions Battery acid

15. Introduction 1-8 (d) Reactivity Reactivity - when mixed with water: reacts violently, forms explosive mixture, generates toxic gases, or contains cyanides or sulfides that are released when exposed to acid or alkaline materials, or is explosive. Pressurized aerosol cans

16. Introduction 1-8 (e) Toxicity Toxicity - fails the "Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure" (TCLP) lab test for any one of 40 TCLP parameters. Paint-contaminated wastes Oil-contaminated wastes, such as used oil absorbent or rags.

17. Introduction 1-10 (a) Wide variety of common wastes fond in vehicle maintenance shops. These include: F-Listed Hazardous Wastes Methylene Chloride 1,1.1-trichloroethane (TCE) Chlorinated Fluorocarbons (freons) Xylene Acetone Nitrobenzene Toluene Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) Benzene

18. Introduction 1-10 (c) Other Listed Hazardous Wastes K-Listed Wastes - uncommon in vehicle maintenance operations. P-Listed Wastes - acutely toxic chemicals in unused form only. U-Listed Wastes - toxic commercial chemicals, off-specification products in unused form.

29. Hazardous Materials Information System (HMIS) FLAMMABILITY REACTIVITY HEALTH PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

30. Health 0 - Minimal Hazard No significant risk to health 1 - Slight Hazard Irritation or minor reversible injury possible 2 - Moderate Hazard Temporary or minor injury may occur 3 - Serious Hazard Major injury likely unless prompt action is taken and medical treatment is given HEALTH

31. Health 4 - Severe Hazard Life threatening, major or permanent damage may result from single or repeated exposures Note: An asterisk (*) or other designation indicates that there may be chronic health effects present. See the MSDS for the material in question HEALTH

32. Flammability 0 - Minimal Hazard Materials that are normally stable and will not burn unless heated 1 - Slight Hazard Materials that must be preheated before ignition will occur. Flammable liquids in this category have flash points at or above 200ºF FLAMMABILITY HEALTH

33. Flammability 2 - Moderate Hazard Materials that must be moderately heated before ignition will occur. Flammable liquids in this category have flash points at or above 100ºF and below 200ºF 3 - Serious Hazard Materials capable of ignition under almost all normal temperature conditions. Flammable liquids in this category have flash points below 73ºF and boiling points above 100ºF as well as liquids with a flash point between 73ºF and 100ºF FLAMMABILITY HEALTH

34. Flammability 4 - Severe Hazard Very flammable gases or very volatile flammable liquids with flash points below 73ºF and boiling points below 100ºF FLAMMABILITY HEALTH

35. Reactivity 0 - Minimal Hazard Materials that are normally stable, even under fire conditions, and will not react with water 1 - Slight Hazard Materials that are normally stable,but can become unstable at high temperatures and pressures. These materials may react with water, but they will not release energy violently FLAMMABILITY REACTIVITY HEALTH

36. Reactivity 2 - Moderate Hazard Materials that, in themselves, are normally unstable and that readily undergo violent chemical change, but will not detonate. These materials may also react violently with water 3 - Serious Hazard Materials that are capable of detonation or explosive reaction, but which require a strong initiating source or which must be heated under confinement before initiation; or materials that react explosively with water FLAMMABILITY REACTIVITY HEALTH

37. Reactivity 4 - Severe Hazard Materials that are readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition at normal temperatures and pressures FLAMMABILITY REACTIVITY HEALTH

39. Chronic Effects Chronic health effects are not rated because of the complex issues involved and the lack of standardized classifications and test. However, based on information provided by the manufacturer/supplier, chronic effects may be indicated by (1) an asterisk (*) or other designation after the health hazard rating corresponding to other information that may be available; or (2) written warnings in the upper white section of the HMIS label.
