Chris This rather begs the question, how toxic are the C5-C36 or C10-C40 aliphatic HCs? Also how many of the C5-C10 aliphatics actually make it into the sample that is analysed? Surely the main difference between these two bandings is the BTEX compounds?

Clearly NRW/SEPA/NiEA/EA didn't get the memo about 2017 BS EN ISO 11504. Testing - a lot of labs report speciated TPH fractions in the range >C5-C36, which further adds to the mix. It may be that under Steps 1.2 to 1.5 of App D Waste Sampling, one may be able to justify/document using reduced banding (e.g. C10-C40) based on what is known about the nature of the petroleum hydrocarbons potentially in the waste.
