Secondary standards
แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Recommended drinking water quality standards which relate to aesthetics and/or health. These standards are recommended, not required. See primary standards.
Softening
แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The removal of divalent cations by precipitation or ion exchange.
Receiving water quality standards
แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Standards which require a discharger to maintain a certain quality level in the receiving water.
Toxicity
แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A U.S. EPA hazardous waste characteristic defined with a rigorous test procedure, the TCLP (for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure). In the procedure, a waste is extracted for 24 hours with an acetic acid solution. The acid extract is then analyzed for the presence of any of the contaminants listed in the procedure.
