What Does EPTC Stand For?

EPTC stands for Extraction Procedure Toxicity Characteristic

The Extraction Procedure Toxicity Characteristic (EPTC) is a regulatory framework used to evaluate the potential hazards of waste materials. It involves a standardized procedure for extracting contaminants from solid waste samples to determine if they contain toxic substances at levels that pose a risk to human health and the environment. EPTC is essential for waste management, ensuring compliance with environmental safety standards and facilitating proper disposal methods.
