A waste material with which of the following characteristics is considered a hazardous waste under the United States Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)?
A waste material is classified as hazardous under the United States Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) if it has a pH ≤ 2 or ≥ 12.5, or a liquid flashpoint of 140°F (60°C) or less. These characteristics indicate that the material is either highly acidic, highly basic, or flammable at relatively low temperatures, posing significant risks to health and the environment.
The correct answer is PH ≤ 2 or ≥ 12.5, or a liquid flashpoint of 140°F (60°C) or less, this is found on page 11-35 in the CFPS book.
