    Polychlorinated dibenzofurans

Polychlorinated dibenzofurans, toxic by-products of burning & chemical making. Any congener, one variant, is included.

Is Queensland M170 hazardous waste?

Not from the code alone. M170 is a Schedule 11 trackable-waste description. Tracking applies while the commercial or industrial waste stays regulated under section 42. Check the Schedule 9 exclusions and the section 42(4) test-out route before treating a movement as trackable. This code has no precedence mark when several descriptions fit.

For a tracked load, enter M170 as the waste code on the Queensland waste transport certificate. The generator completes Part 1, the transporter Part 2 and the receiver Part 3. Lodge it through an approved online, bulk-upload or numbered-paper route. The Queensland exclusions still apply.

What does Queensland M170 cover?

Any congener of polychlorinated dibenzo-furan. The wording takes in every chemical variant of dibenzofuran, so it names no congeners one by one.
