Characterization

Characterization is the process of obtaining the information needed to safely and efficiently package and transport the wastes.

Characterization can be complicated for wastes that are bulked (combined). Therefore, it might be necessary to further test bulked materials in order to properly identify the makeup of the waste. The best way to do so is through an onsite lab. This allows for the quickest testing, which decreases the time between waste testing and waste cleanup or storage. It also helps decrease potential issues from transport, such as spilling the samples and determining the proper packaging for sample transport.
