(e) Any waste that contains heat in amounts which would inhibit biological activity in a POTW resulting in an interference, and in no case heat in such quantities that the temperature of the influent at the POTW exceeds 40° C, 104° F;

(f) Petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin in amounts that will cause interference or pass through;

(g) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the POTW in a quantity that might cause worker health and safety problems;
