ANSS and its Effect on the Environment

AnyWay Solid Environmental Solutions is committed to limiting its impact on our natural environment. Independent research of the environmental fate of ANSS was achieved through conducting TCLP experiments under acidic and basic mediums, as well as m odified leaching experiments. TCLP predicts the solubility (mobility) of specific potential toxic substances under specific testing conditions, and a product that passes TCLP testing is regarded as being non-toxic.

Of the heavy metals analyzed by TCLP, all are immobilized at high pH values and pose little threat of leaching from an ANSS stabilized system. Leaching aside, given the fact that there is no addition of any heavy metal to ANSS as a catalyst or additive, and that the compounds mixed to form ANSS are natural in origin, there can be no threat of contamination into the soil or groundwater as the levels in the product in the first place are negligible.

All analyzed elements under modified leaching experiments are lower than the TCLP regulatory levels, even for leaching experiments with ANSS powder. Leachate from ANSS is lower than US and Canadian drinking water standards, which is a testament to the almost un-existing environmental threat of ANSS. TCLP and modified leaching experiment results indicate that even if leaching was to occur, which is extremely unlikely, the leachate would be of such a low level of threat that it would not affect any surrounding body of water (groundwater) or cause toxicity to the surrounding ecosystem. Due to ANSS’s non-toxicity it was awarded the Green label by the Ministry of the Environment and the Standards Institution of Israel, an award that highlights AnyWay’s commitment to protecting the quality of the environment.
