Corrosive
Corrosive hazardous waste rusts steel at a higher than normal rate of 6.35 millimeters per year at a test temperature of 55 degrees Celsius.
Corrosive Wastes -Corrosive Wastes are aqueous wastes with a pH below 2 or above 12.5, or which corrode steel at a rate in excess of 0.25 inches per year. Corrosive wastes are classified as EPA Hazardous Waste No. D002.
Corrosive: capable of eating away materials and destroying living tissue on contact.
Corrugated: structural paper or cardboard shaped in parallel furrows and ridges for rigidity.
Corrosive: A chemical agent that reacts with a surface, causing it to deteriorate or wear away.
Crawl Space: The area beneath floors that provides access to utilities and other services. Other options are basements and slabs on grade.
corrosive
Causing a surface-destructive effect on contact; in toxicology, this normally means causing visible destruction of the skin, eyes, or the lining of the respiratory tract or the gastrointestinal tract.
Corrosive: A chemical agent that reacts with the surface of a material causing it to deteriorate or wear away.
Corrosive waste A waste that is outside the pH range of 2 to 12.5 or a waste that corrodes steel at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.25 in) per year. One of EPA's four hazardous waste properties.

Corrosive
A substance that eats or wears away materials gradually by chemical action. ...
corrosiveness of water. The rate of corrosion is measured as
the loss of weight of the coupon (in milligrams) per surface
area (in square decimeters) exposed to the water per day. 10 ...
A corrosive solution with a pH less than 7.
Acid Aerosol
Acidic liquid or solid particles small enough to become airborne. High concentrations can irritate the lungs and have been associated with respiratory diseases like asthma.
Phenol - 1) A corrosive poisonous crystalline acidic compound present in coal tar and wood tar that in dilute solutions is used as a disinfectant and 2) any of various acidic compounds analogous to phenols and regarded as hydroxyl derivatives of ...
An indication of the corrosiveness of a water. The corrosiveness of a water is described by the water's pH, alkalinity, hardness, temperature, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen concentration, and the Langelier Index.
Hazardous Material -- Specific substances listed by EPA, and any other substance that is corrosive, ignitable, reactive or toxic.
A class of compounds that can be corrosive when concentrated. Weak acids, such as vinegar and citric acid, are common in foods.
Colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-corrosive, highly poisonous gas of about the same density as that of air. Very flammable, burning in air with bright blue flame.
The man-made ozone that forms in the troposphere is extremely toxic and corrosive. People who inhale ozone during repeated exposure may permanently damage their lungs or suffer from respiratory infections.
These are leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable, or reactive ingredients.
Hazardous Waste - A product in a home (household hazardous waste) or business that is ignitable, corrosive, reactive or toxic (e.g. used motor oil, oil-based paint, auto batteries, gasoline, pesticides, etc).
Typical hazardous substances are toxic, corrosive, ignitable, explosive, or chemically reactive. 2.
Alkali a classification of substances that liberate hydroxide ions in water, to form caustic and corrosive solutions which turn litmus paper blue, with a pH higher than 7, for example sodium Hydroxide.
Household Hazardous Waste- A product that is discarded from a home or a similar source that is either ignitable, corrosive, reactive, or toxic (e.g. used motor oil, oil-based paint, auto batteries, gasoline, pesticides, etc.).
Aggressive Index (ai) The corrosion index established by the American Works Association Standard C-400; established as a criterion for determining the corrosive tendency of the water relative to asbestos-cement pipe; calculated from pH, ...
Hazardous Waste: Waste or materials that contain hazardous chemicals (e.g., corrosive, flammable, toxic, water reactive, radioactive, carcinogens, oxidizers).
The scale runs from 0 (acid) to 14 (alkali). At both ends the chemicals are very reactive and corrosive, but in between or mixed together they become neutral. The most neutral chemical is water, pH 7.
and disposed of by residential as opposed to industrial consumers. Includes paints, stains, varnishes, solvents, pesticides, and other materials or products containing volatile chemicals that can catch fire, react or explode, or that are corrosive or ...
