Hazardous Wastes Listed in Schedule I and II
Schedule I
List of processes generating hazardous wastes
Schedule – II
List of wastes constituents with concentration limits
*Waste constituents and their concentration limits given in this list are based on erstwhile BAGA (the Netherlands Environment Protection Agency) List of Hazardous Substances. In order to decide whether specific wastes listed above is hazardous or not, following points be taken into consideration:
(i) If a component of the waste appears in one of the five risk classes listed above (A, B, C, D or E) and the concentration of the component is equal to or more than the limit for the relevant risks class, the material is then classified as hazardous waste.
(ii) If a chemical compound containing a hazardous constituent is present in the waste, the concentration limit does not apply to the compound, but only to the hazardous constituent itself.
(iii) If multiple hazardous constituents from the same class are present in the waste, the concentrations are added together.
(iv) If multiple hazardous constituents from different classes are present in the waste, the lowest concentration limit corresponding to the constituent(s) applies.
(v) For determining the concentration of the hazardous constituents in the waste “Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) as per ASTM-D5233-92 should be adopted.
