Description Waste antifreeze was tested at six sites (3 generators and 3 recyclers) in Washington between February and March 1991. Samples were collected in both eastern and western Washington and encompassed a broad variety of vehicle types. Analyses included: metals, semi-volatiles, and volatile organic compounds using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP); halogenated hydrocarbons; percent ethylene glycol; and two acute toxicity tests (static acute salmonid bioassay and acute oral rat bioassay).
