What is not considered a hazardous material as a result of a routine J/W test?

In the context of a routine Joint Water (J/W) test, test strips are primarily used as a tool to measure certain characteristics of water, such as pH levels or the presence of specific ions. They are not classified as hazardous materials since they are designed for testing purposes and do not typically contain harmful substances or pose a risk to health or the environment when used appropriately.

Hazardous waste, chemical residues, and protective equipment, on the other hand, are directly associated with the handling and testing of hazardous materials. Hazardous waste refers to materials that can pose a threat to human health or the environment when disposed of, while chemical residues may contain harmful substances that could have a detrimental effect if improperly handled. Protective equipment is necessary for safety when dealing with hazardous materials, indicating that it directly relates to the materials being tested or handled. Thus, it is clear that test strips stand apart from these items concerning hazardous material classification in the context of routine J/W testing.
