The Proven Solution that Permanently Eliminates Hazardous Waste

The effectiveness of Blastox® in landfill environments is being questioned by companies offering other
technologies. References have been made that Blastox® cannot pass certain leach tests. The following
information will clarify these issues and provide an easy-to-understand, fact-based response regarding the long
term stability of Blastox®.

Specifically, the ability of Blastox® to pass certain leach tests has been challenged. The truth is that the EPA
requires the administration of a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test to determine if a waste
is hazardous or non-hazardous. Landfills require copies of these tests, or perform their own TCLP testing for
acceptance of a particular waste stream. Blastox® has consistently passed thousands of TCLP tests annually
since its introduction into the marketplace in 1991.
