| Notes: | |
| 1. | VS means volatile solids. |
| 2. | MPN means most probable number per gram of total solids in the sewage |
| sludge or compost. MPN is an index of the number of coliform bacteria, | |
| reported by the multiple-tube fermentation procedure of the coliform | |
| test, that, more probably than any other number, would give the results | |
| shown by the laboratory examination; it is not an actual enumeration. | |
| 3. | Mmhos is a unit of electrical conductivity; it is the reciprocal of ohm. |
| 4. | Man-made inert material includes glass shards and metal fragments that |
| pose a human and animal safety hazard with unprotected exposure or | |
| through direct ingestion. | |
| 5. | Film plastic can be a potential hazard to small animals through direct |
| ingestion. |
