A number in parentheses
2、 indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This terminology contains standard definitions of termsused in the general area of waste and waste management. It isintended to promote understanding by pro
3、viding precise tech-nical definitions of terms used in the standards developed byCommittee D34 and its subcommittees.1.2 Terms used only within an individual standard, andhaving a meaning unique to that standard, may be defined orexplained in the terminology section of that individual stan-dard.1.3
4、This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Docum

Significance and Use3.1 This terminology defines terms and specialized mean-ings of terms in the subject areas of waste and management ofwaste.3.2 This terminology is not intended for subjects other thanwaste and waste management. For terms applicable to othe
27、rsubject areas, the appropriate terminology standard(s) shouldbe consulted. See the current edition of the Compilation ofASTM Standard Definitions4and the list of terminologystandards cited therein.3.3 Standards relating to subcategories of waste or wastemanagement may use terms defined more narrowl
28、y than thoseincluded here. The more specialized terminology standardsrelating to the applicable specific subcategory, or terms definedwithin individual standards, or both, should be consulted forthe exact meaning intended within a given standard.3.4 The Thesaurus on Resource Recovery Terminology(Spe
29、cial Technical Publication (STP) 832)5contains manyterms and may be useful for those not listed in terminologystandards. However, a definition in a standard terminologyshall be considered governing when the term is used in thesense or meaning defined therein.3.5 Statistical terms are not defined in
