Criteria for judging hazardous waste and solid waste

Danger and form, source, utilization value, etc.

I. Criteria for judging hazardous wastes

Hazardous waste, that is, hazardous waste, refers to the waste with hazardous characteristics that is listed in the national hazardous waste list or identified according to the national standards and methods for identifying hazardous waste. The determination of hazardous waste is mainly based on the following aspects:

1. waste source: the waste generated in some industries or production processes may be dangerous, such as chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, electroplating industry, etc.

2. Composition of waste: Does the waste contain toxic, harmful, flammable, explosive and other dangerous components, such as heavy metals and toxic organic substances?

3. Nature of waste: whether the waste has corrosive, toxic, reactive and other dangerous characteristics.

According to the above standards, if the waste meets one or more of these standards, it may be identified as hazardous waste. The treatment of hazardous waste should be carried out in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the state to ensure that it will not cause harm to the environment and human health.

Second, determine the standard of solid waste.

Solid waste, that is, solid waste, refers to solid, semi-solid and gaseous articles and substances that have lost their original use value or have not lost their use value but have been abandoned or abandoned, as well as articles and substances that are included in the management of solid waste according to laws and administrative regulations. The determination of solid waste mainly focuses on the following aspects:

1. Waste form: whether it is solid or semi-solid, and whether it is put in a container.

2. Source of waste: from production, life or other activities.

3. Use value: whether the original use value has been lost or abandoned or abandoned.

According to the above standards, waste should be classified as solid waste if it meets the definition of solid waste. There are many methods to treat solid waste, which can be selected according to their nature and resource value, such as recovery, landfill and incineration.

To sum up:

The criteria for judging hazardous waste and solid waste pay attention to the danger, form, source and utilization value of waste respectively. Correctly judging hazardous waste and solid waste is helpful to realize the reasonable classification and treatment of waste and promote environmental protection and resource recycling.
