  • Ontario S-series severely toxic wastes

    Aflatoxin

Ontario Schedule 3 severely toxic contaminant: Aflatoxin.

Aflatoxin is a severely toxic contaminant, a potent mould toxin that forms on spoiled grain & nuts.

Is Ontario S001 hazardous waste?

Yes, above the severely toxic concentration limit. In Ontario, waste with a Schedule 3 severely toxic contaminant above 1 ppm is severely toxic waste. S001 covers aflatoxin, CAS 1402-68-2. Exactly 1 ppm falls outside the test, but other hazardous definitions can still apply.

For shipments of this waste, the generator uses the class-and-letter waste number in the waste details of the Ontario hazardous waste manifest. The hazardous-waste number goes in the land-disposal assessment and notification where one is needed. Keep them together and don't swap one identifier for the other.

What does Ontario S001 cover?

S001 covers aflatoxin under Ontario’s severely toxic waste rules, CAS 1402-68-2. The limit is above 1 ppm in the waste itself, not a concentration in TCLP leachate. The hazardous-waste number is also used in the land-disposal framework.

Severely toxic concentration test not metThe contaminant is at or below 1 ppm. Other hazardous-waste definitions may still apply.

Record the chemical and how it was measured with the result. This whole-waste limit is separate from the leachate-toxicity limits and from any land-disposal treatment requirement.
