It was observed that EDAR index values and intervals (Tables 2 and 4) did not change markedly with the deletion of two toxicity tests. Results of applying the EDAR index to waste samples indicate that values and ranks relate to the solubility of toxicants in aqueous phases. Based on this evaluation, wastes from photographic and X-Ray laboratories were observed to be extremely hazardous in contrast to hydrocarbon-containing waste leachates, described as either slightly hazardous or hazardous. The existence of sub-levels for an equivalent hazard description allows for better sample discrimination (e.g., Pharmaceutical solid waste leachate versus liquid waste with pesticides in Table 5). 

Lambolez (1994) and Bispo (1998) showed that this kind of index can be used for integrating different results obtained from solid waste leachates without having to take into account the ME Vs obtained after biodegradation nor the flow (Q in the PEEP formula) specific to effluents. The Waste PEEP formula defining a PEEP index for waste then becomes ... 

Figure 5. Prerequisite study - Comparison of the waste PEEP index values calculated for a municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (BA) and a slag from a second smelting of lead (2SL) as a function of each experimental liquid-to-solid ratios (L/S). Each waste PEEP index value was calculated using ecotoxicological results presented in Table 5 (see Section 5.6 for details of calculations).

Table 5 illustrates the grouping of effluents and emissions to water, air, and solid waste. 2 ft is important to note that the mass in these categories cannot be simply added to produce a meaningful environmental index because some are associated with much more significant environmental impacts than others. The process of converting all of these outputs to useful burden index measures is a part of the inventory assessment process.

This 160 page monograph presents thermodynamic data for materials which are chemical mixtures, polymers, composite materials, solid wastes, and substances not easily identifiable by a single stoichiometric formula. The thermodynamic properties given are heats of reaction and transitions, heat capacities and heat contents, and vapor and sublimation pressures. Included is a material name and property index which covers approximately 600 materials, many of which are of biological Interest, and including data on animals.

Results of the EDAR index application to these types of matrices are provided in Table 5. Samples were selected for toxicity screening to ensure the presence of different types of contaminants commonly present in complex wastes (e.g., hydrocarbons, DOC, nutrients, ammonia, inorganic anions and cations, pesticides) and other matrices (e.g., sediments and sludges, solid materials, liquid...
