or highway, including but not limited to, passenger cars, light duty vehicles, and heavy duty
vehicles.
C2.2.14. Municipal Waste Combustion (MWC) Units. Any equipment that combusts solid,
liquid, or gasified municipal solid waste (MSW) including, but not limited to, field-erected
MWC units (with or without heat recovery), modular MWC units (starved-air or excess-air),
boilers (for example, steam generating units), furnaces (whether suspension-fired, grate-fired,
mass-fired, air curtain incinerators, or fluidized bed-fired), and pyrolysis/combustion units.
Municipal waste combustion units do NOT include pyrolysis or MWC units located at a plastics
or rubber recycling unit, cement kilns that combust MSW, internal combustion engines, gas
turbines, or other combustion devices that combust landfill gases collected by landfill gas
collection systems.
C2.2.15. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Any household, commercial/retail, or
institutional waste. Household waste includes material discarded from residential dwellings,
hotels, motels, and other similar permanent or temporary housing. Commercial/retail waste
includes material discarded by stores, offices, restaurants, warehouses, nonmanufacturing
activities at industrial facilities, and other similar establishments or facilities. Institutional waste
includes materials discarded by schools, hospitals (nonmedical), nonmanufacturing activities at
prisons and government facilities, and other similar establishments or facilities. Household,
commercial/retail, and institutional waste does include yard waste and refuse-derived fuel.
Household, commercial/retail, and institutional waste does not include used oil; sewage sludge;
wood pallets; construction, renovation, and demolition wastes (which include railroad ties and
telephone poles); clean wood; industrial process or manufacturing wastes; medical waste; or
motor vehicles (including motor vehicle parts or vehicle fluff).
C2.2.16. Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS). Those substances listed in Table 2.2.
C2.2.17. Particulate Matter (PM). Total suspended particulates with a size from 0.001 μm
to 500 μm, determined considering a content of O2 within the anhydrous gas emission equal to
3% in volume for liquid and gaseous fuels and to 6% in volume for solid fuels and referred to the
volume of dry gaseous emissions reported to normal conditions 0ºC (32°F) and 0.1013 Mpa
(14.7 pounds per square inch (psi)).
C2.2.18. Pathological Waste. Waste material consisting of only human or animal remains,
anatomical parts, and/or tissue, the bags/containers used to collect and transport the waste
material, and animal bedding (if applicable).
C2.2.19. Perfluorocarbon (PFC). A compound consisting solely of carbon and fluorine
often used as a replacement for ODS.
C2.2.20. Process Heater. A device that is primarily used to heat a material to initiate or
promote a chemical reaction in which the material participates as a reactant or catalyst.
C2.2.21. Pyrolysis. The endothermic gasification of hospital waste and/or
medical/infectious waste using external energy.
