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.
ANS: A, FPH 11-35
ANS:A CFPS 11:35
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.
