Landfill Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure TCLP Testing

Landfill Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) Testing is an analytical test method used to determine whether or not waste is hazardous by determining the mobility of organic and inorganic substances in liquids, solids, and metaphasic waste. Under the US Government’s Resource Conservation and Recovery Act RCRA of 1976, the TCLP was established by the US Environmental Protection Agency as a test method protocol to characterize industrial and other wastes.

Landfill Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure TCLP Testing is used to determine if waste meets the US Environmental Protection Agency EPA’s Toxicity definition by testing it for 40 contaminants. If a waste product fails one or more of the contaminant tests it’s considered a hazardous waste. TCLP data is used to determine whether a facility can accept certain waste. If TCLP levels are below the maximum contamination levels, the waste is accepted at the facility, if the levels are above the maximum level, they cannot enter the facility and must be taken to a hazardous waste disposal facility.

Wastes are considered hazardous if they are ignitable, are corrosive, are reactive, are toxic, or are listed on hazardous waste codes.

Contract Laboratory has received the following Landfill Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure TCLP testing projects from companies, governments, and organizations :

  • Environmental toxicology laboratory needed for TCLP Testing: Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure TCLP metals
