By accurately characterizing the degree of contamination, material can be disposed of as safely and economically as possible.

TCLP limits

To dispose of hazardous waste in a United States municipal landfill, TCLP limits must fall within standard levels set for maximum contamination levels (MCLs). If MCLs are exceeded, the producer must dispose of the materials at a specialized hazardous waste facility, which increases costs significantly.

Acid-treated, low metal Whatman TCLP test filters from Cytiva's business can help to determine what steps, if any, must be taken to mitigate landfill leachate risk.
