Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Testing

Solid waste refers to the solid or muddy substances discarded by human beings after extracting the desired components in the process of production, processing, circulation, consumption and life. In simple words - solid wastes are any discarded or abandoned materials, which mainly include solid particles, garbage, slag, sludge, abandoned products, damaged utensils, defective products, animal corpses, spoiled food, human and animal feces and so on. In some countries, high concentration liquids such as waste acid, waste alkali, waste oil and waste organic solvents are also classified as solid waste. Solid waste has the following characteristics:

Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Testing

1. The production source is scattered, the yield is large, the composition is complex, and the shape and nature are changeable;
2. Solid waste may contain hazardous wastes or pollutants that are toxic, flammable, explosive, radioactive, corrosive, reactive, infectious and pathogenic;
3. There are even pollutant-rich organisms, some of which are difficult to degrade or treat;
4. In addition, their emissions are uncertain and hidden.

These factors lead to the generation, discharge and disposal of solid waste, which will cause harm to resources, ecological environment, and the physical and mental health of the people. For example, toxic chemicals in industrial waste residue and sludge, pathogens in hospitals, slaughterhouses and mining wastes are brought into the soil as a result of waste stacking, polluting the soil. Growing crops on contaminated soil not only reduces soil fertility, but also enriches crops with toxic substances, which then affect human health through food. Therefore, the detection of solid waste is of great significance.
