Correct Answer
E. All of the above
Explanation
Potentially hazardous material becomes a hazardous waste when any of the mentioned conditions are met. When an item is crushed or damaged, there is a possibility of the hazardous material leaking or being exposed, making it hazardous waste. Similarly, if an item is missing a nozzle, it can lead to the release of hazardous substances. Additionally, when an item is about to leak or has a missing/broken cap, it poses a risk of contamination and becomes hazardous waste. Therefore, all of the above conditions indicate when potentially hazardous material becomes hazardous waste.
