What Does POHC Stand For?

POHC stands for Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents

POHC, or Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents, refers to specific organic compounds that pose significant environmental and health risks due to their toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation potential. These constituents are often targeted in environmental assessments and remediation efforts, as their presence can indicate contamination and inform regulatory compliance measures. Understanding and managing POHCs is crucial for mitigating risks associated with hazardous waste and ensuring the safety of ecosystems and human health.
