10 05 10*, 10 08 10* Chokes and residues are light, which are highly flammable or emit flammable gases in dangerous quantities when in contact with water
Flammable dross and residues, which emit flammable gases in dangerous quantities when in contact with water, are a serious environmental and safety problem. They can arise as a result of industrial processes, such as metalworking, mining and processing of metals. This waste, if not treated properly, can cause significant problems for the environment and human health.
Dross and light residues are usually formed in the process of melting and refining metals. They contain various metals, oxides and other chemical compounds that can be dangerous. One of the main problems is that this waste is highly flammable. This means that they can quickly ignite in contact with an open flame or even when the ambient temperature rises.
In addition, when in contact with water, such waste can emit flammable gases. This is especially dangerous because these gases can cause explosions or other emergency situations. The management of such waste requires special safety measures and environmental control.
Additional problems arise in the process of processing dross and lung remnants. They can interact with other materials and chemicals, forming new dangerous compounds. In addition, during the transportation and storage of such waste, emergency situations may occur, which may lead to serious consequences.
The main challenges associated with these wastes include:
- high probability of ignition with improper storage;
- release of toxic gases upon contact with water;
- requirement of specialized processing methods;
- high security costs.
Soots and residues are light, flammable or emit flammable gases in dangerous quantities when in contact with water. Code according to the National list of waste 10 05 10*, 10 08 10*. Operations in accordance with Annexes 1, 2 to the Law of Ukraine "On Waste Management" D13, D12.
A pity for the environment and people
Flammable dross and residues can cause significant damage to the environment. If stored or handled improperly, they can cause fires and explosions, leading to air and water pollution. The operations of collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste from dross and lung residues, which are highly flammable, must be performed with great care to avoid emissions of harmful substances into the environment.
The main environmental risks include:
- pollution of soil and water with heavy metals;
- release of toxic gases upon contact with water;
- air pollution during flares and explosions;
- dangerous reactions with other chemical substances.
Fires and explosions caused by improper handling of these wastes can have catastrophic consequences for ecosystems. They lead to destruction of vegetation, pollution of water resources and reduction of air quality. This, in turn, affects the health of people and animals living in polluted areas.
In addition, heavy metals and other toxic substances contained in dross and residues can enter the soil and aquifers. This leads to long-term pollution that is difficult to neutralize. Even small concentrations of these substances can have a significant negative impact on the health of people and animals.
Pity for people
Flammable dross and residues also pose a significant threat to human health. They can cause poisoning, burns and other serious injuries. Inhalation of toxic gases released during contact with water can cause respiratory diseases and other serious medical problems.
The main risks to human health include:
- intoxication with heavy metals;
- burns and injuries from explosions;
- respiratory diseases from inhalation of toxic gases;
- long-term diseases, including cancer.
The impact of flammable dross and residues on human health can be immediate or long-term. Immediate effects include burns, injuries, and acute poisoning, which may result from fires or explosions. Long-term exposure to toxic substances can lead to chronic diseases, including cancer, dysfunction of internal organs and the nervous system.
Children, pregnant women and people with pre-existing diseases are especially vulnerable to such effects. Even small concentrations of toxic substances can have a serious effect on their health. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the protection of these population groups from exposure to hazardous waste.
Ways to reduce harm
Reducing damage from flammable dross and residues requires a comprehensive approach. Methods of environmental management of hazardous waste of dross and lung residues should include collection, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) of hazardous waste using special technologies. This will reduce the risk of release of flammable gases and other dangerous substances.
Basic harm reduction measures include:
- use of special containers for waste storage (D12);
- control of storage conditions to prevent contact with water;
- introduction of technologies to neutralize toxic substances;
- training of employees in safety rules when working with hazardous waste.
Environmental management of hazardous waste dross and lung residues should include regular monitoring of the state of the environment and the health of workers. This will help identify possible problems in the early stages and take the necessary measures to eliminate them.
In addition, it is important to ensure proper transportation of hazardous waste. This includes the use of specialized vehicles and containers, as well as compliance with all necessary safety measures during transportation. Transportation of hazardous waste from dross and lung residues should be organized in such a way as to minimize the risk of accidents and leaks.

23.10.2023Really great. They did not expect. We were choosing between two companies and chose this one. We spent a long time choosing a partner for hazardous waste management and found it. Thank you. It's always a pleasure to work with such a company. I recommend it.
Melnyk Oleksandra
07.11.2023There is often a need for environmental waste management. We decided to order operations for the collection, sorting, crushing and processing of hazardous waste here. I liked the approach to hazardous waste management. It is immediately obvious that the work is done by professionals. They took into account all the nuances that even we didn’t know about. Only positive impressions from work.
Melnyk Oleksandra
15.01.2024They were determined between UtilVtorProm and another company. We chose environmental hazardous waste management from you and have never regretted it. It was necessary to transport hazardous waste very quickly. We did not expect that it would be so easy to work with this company. Don't hesitate to order. There is no better company in Ukraine.
