waste removal
Encuentro esta frase varias veces en un documento que estoy traduciendo. Quiero saber si puedo quitar la palabra residuos y poner "hazardous waste" o si hay que poner "residues or hazardous waste". Otra cosa, opináis que la o debe ser traducido como "and"?

hazardous waste
Hi Edward,
I'd just say "hazardous waste" because "residuos" and "desechos" both mean more or less the same.
HTH.

toxic residues and hazardous waste
The two terms refer to somewhat different things: "desechos" refer to that which is discarded or dumped and residues to that which is left over from a discarding or dumping that occurred at some previous time in the past.
This would seem to be a reasonable solution that would conserve this distinction.
NOTE: "residues" in plural (countable noun) and "waste" in singular (uncountable noun).
See reference.
Suerte.

hazardous waste and bi-products
'hazardous wastes' es suficiente pero en esta ocasion creo que mejor decir 'hazardous waste and bi-products.' Usamos 'and' en vez de 'or.' 'Residues' es correcto pero usualmente decimos bi-products.
