Agricultural Residue - Plant parts, primarily stalks and leaves, not removed from the fields with the primary food or fiber product. Examples include corn stover (stalks, leaves, husks, and cobs); wheat straw; and rice straw.
Non-combustible residue that results from burning fuels in an incinerator, boiler or furnace. It can include metal oxides, silicates and sulfur compounds, as well as many other chemical pollutants.
FLY ASH A fine residue, left after trash is burned in an incinerator, which can be carried in the air. It can contain harmful or toxic substances such as dioxins, lead and mercury.
FR Freon.
Fly Ash - The ash residue from high temperature combustion processes.
Sludge: A solid residue from air or water treatment processes. Can be a hazardous waste.
Smoke: The airborne solid and liquid particles and gases that evolve when material undergoes pyrolysis or combustion.
Conservation tillage - a tillage system that does not invert the soil and that leaves a protective cover of plant residue on the
soil surface throughout the year.
Contour farming - growing crops in strips that follow the contour of the land.
For example, the department licenses and inspects grocery and other food stores, regulates the state's dairy industry and monitors and enforces standards for pesticide residues in agricultural produce.
TDS total dissolved solids; filterable residue; usually expressed as g/liter or mg/liter following evaporation of a measured sample of filtered water

Relict population An often very locally distributed residue from a large population that has declined. Remoteness In island biogeography, the distance an island is from a mainland source of colonizing organisms.

Regulatory levels recommended by EPA for enforcement by FDA and USDA when pesticide residues occur in food or feed commodities for reasons other than the direct application of the pesticide.
program, the existence of a contaminant concentration in the environment high enough to warrant action or trigger a response under SARA and the NCP. 2) Regulatory levels recommended by EPA for enforcement by FDA and USDA when pesticide residues occur ...
For instance, it has become accepted as fact that chemical pesticides are a requirement for productive farm output, and that pesticide residues in our food are safe and acceptable. Neither of these things has been proven true.
Action levels: Regulatory levels recommended by EPA for enforcement by FDA and USDA when pesticide residues occur in food or feed commodities for reasons other than the direct application of the pesticide.
Permissible residue levels for pesticides in raw agricultural produce and processed foods. Whenever a pesticide is registered for use on a food or a feed crop, a tolerance (or exemption from the tolerance requirement) must be established.
ash - incombustible residue left over after incineration or other thermal processes.
asthma - a condition marked by labored breathing, constriction of the chest, coughing and gasping usually brought on by allergies.
Industrial Process Waste- Residues produced during manufacturing operations.
Industrial Sludge- Semi-liquid residue or slurry remaining from treatment of industrial water and wastewater.
Pesticide Tolerance - The amount of pesticide residue allowed by law to remain in or on a harvested crop. EPA sets these levels well below the point where the compounds might be harmful to consumers.
Volatile suspended solids (VSS) is the non-filterable residue remaining after firing the total suspended solids at 550EC. See total suspended solids and fixed suspended solids.

These fragments still contain residues of the original content, shredded paper labels and plastic caps. These are removed by different processes, resulting in pure PET fragments, or "PET flakes".
litter Undecomposed plant residues on the soil surface. Little Ice Age A cold period that lasted from about A.D. 1550 to about A.D. 1850 in Europe, North America, and Asia.
A process of biologically degrading organic materials in the presence of oxygen, yielding carbon dioxide, heat and stabilised organic residues that may be used as a soil additive

Traditional sources of biomass consist of agricultural and forestry residues and waste from animal husbandry. New biomass sources include specifically grown energy crops, particularly short rotation coppice (SRC) of willow or poplar ...
Wood is still the most common source of biomass energy, but other sources of biomass energy include food crops, grasses and other plants, agricultural and forestry waste and residue, organic components from municipal and industrial wastes, ...
Fossil Fuel (D):
Solid, liquid or gaseous fuels formed in the ground over millions of years by chemical and physical changes in plant and animal residues under high temperature and pressure, e.g., oil, natural gas and coal.

Depleted Uranium (DU): Uranium having a percentage of uranium-235 smaller than the 0.7 percent found in natural uranium. It is obtained from spent (used) fuel elements or as byproduct tails, or residues, from uranium isotope separation.
This effort is usually passive, or may consist of simply redistributing harvest residue across a site. In some relatively unique circumstances, forests have received organic matter additions, usually for nutritional or waste management reasons.
total dissolved solids All of the dissolved solids in a sample of water, measured by evaporating the sample and weighing the residue.
in a solution by boiling off those of low boiling point first. For example, water can be distilled and the steam condensed back into a liquid that is almost pure water. The impurities (minerals) remain in the concentrated residue.

For example, in developed or industrialised countries, concerns relate to lead in drinking water or pesticide residues in food.
