Empty Chemical Container Disposal University of Pittsburgh EH&S Guideline Number: 04-019 Safety Manual Subject: Effective Date: 10/11/2017 DISPOSAL OF EMPTY Page 1 of 4 Review Date: 09/23/2019 CHEMICAL CONTAINERS DISPOSAL OF EMPTY CHEMICAL CONTAINERS Chemical containers which are not completely empty and still contain residual amounts of chemicals could potentially be classified as hazardous waste. Therefore, special considerations must be taken when disposing of containers. The following guidelines have been developed to ensure that empty chemical containers are disposed of properly. 1. Chemical containers must be completely emptied prior to disposal. Be sure that there is no residual material in the container. 2. If the original product container is in good condition, consider reusing the container to collect waste chemicals. The waste chemicals should be compatible with the container and the original contents of the container. 3. Consider the type of chemical that was in the container. If the chemical is identified on the list of Acutely Hazardous Wastes (see attachment), the empty container should NOT be rinsed and MUST be disposed of through the Chemical Waste Program. 4. If the chemical is NOT on the attached list of Acutely Hazardous Wastes, the container should be triple- rinsed with water or in some cases, a solvent capable of removing the original chemical. If the rinsing solvent is hazardous (e.g. acetone, methylene chloride), the rinsate must be collected and disposed through the Chemical Waste Program. 5. Once the interior of the container has been triple-rinsed, the container should be air-dried. 6. When the container (glass, metal or plastic) is dry, deface the original label with a permanent marker. Write “EMPTY” on the label. If the container is glass and the chemical is not on the Acutely Hazardous Waste list, it should be disposed of in a broken glass receptacle. Any empty, glass container or item does not need to be broken to be placed in a broken glass receptacle. If the empty container is metal or plastic and the chemical is not on the Acutely Hazardous Waste list, it should be disposed of in the regular trash. 7. If you are unable to remove any residual amount of chemical in the container, the container must be disposed of through the Chemical Waste Program. Acutely Hazardous Wastes The following chemicals are considered to be acutely hazardous wastes, and empty containers formerly containing these chemicals must be disposed of through the Chemical Waste Program. • Acetaldehyde, chloro- • 1-Acetyl-2-thiourea • Aluminum phosphide • Acetamide, N- • Acrolein • 5-(Aminomethyl)-3- (aminothioxomethyl)- • Aldicarb isoxazolol • Acetamide, 2-fluoro- • Aldicarb

  • 12.18 Carbofuran Carbofuran (CAS No
    12. CHEMICAL FACT SHEETS WHO (2003) Cadmium in drinking-water. Background document for preparation of WHO Guidelines for drinking-water quality. Geneva, World Health Organization (WHO/SDE/WSH/03.04/80). 12.18 Carbofuran Carbofuran (CAS No. 1563-66-2) is used worldwide as a pesticide for many crops. Residues in treated crops are generally very low or not detectable. The physical and chemical properties of carbofuran and the few data on occurrence indicate that drink- ing-water from both groundwater and surface water sources is potentially the major route of exposure. Guideline value 0.007 mg/litre Occurrence Has been detected in surface water, groundwater and drinking-water, generally at levels of a few micrograms per litre or lower; highest concentration (30 mg/litre) measured in groundwater ADI 0.002 mg/kg of body weight based on a NOAEL of 0.22 mg/kg of body weight per day for acute (reversible) effects in dogs in a short-term (4- week) study conducted as an adjunct to a 13-week study in which inhibition of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity was observed, and using an uncertainty factor of 100 Limit of detection 0.1 mg/litre by GC with a nitrogen–phosphorus detector; 0.9 mg/litre by reverse-phase HPLC with a fluorescence detector Treatment achievability 1 mg/litre should be achievable using GAC Guideline derivation • allocation to water 10% of ADI • weight 60-kg adult • consumption 2 litres/day Additional comments Use of a 4-week study was considered appropriate because the NOAEL is based on a reversible acute effect; the NOAEL will also be protective for chronic effects.

F. y Centro de Inves- tigación y Reproducción Animal, Universidad Au- tónoma de Tlaxcala. ABSTRACT In order to determine the potential cytogenetic effects of Heptachlor, Malathion and Methyl Parathion, meristems of broad bean root tips were treated with se- vera1 concentrations o£ these insecticides for different periods of treatment and recovery. Heptachlor and Malathion induced chromosomal alterations in anaphase cells as fragments and bridges, chromosomes with inactivated centromeres and isochroinosomes, and as micronuclei in interphase cells. Multipolar anaphases also appeared when the mitotic spindle was damaged. Heptachlor induced pycnosis but Malathion did not. Chromosomal aberrations caused by Methyl Parathion were observed in cells only during metaphase, since a strong c-mitotic effect was induced mostly in the form of fragments. Longer recovery periods (42 and 44 h) revealed tetraploid and pycnotic cells. Only in the case of Malation was there an increase in chromosome altera- tions with higher concentrations. However, no such dose response relationship was observed for micronuclei frequency. RESUMEN Con el fin de establecer el daño genético que ocasionan el Heptacloro, el Mala- tión y el Metil Paratión, se realizaron tratamientos sobre las células meristemá- ticas de la raíz de haba con diversas concentraciones de estos insecticidas y dife- rentes tiempos de tratamiento y recuperación.

  • Florida State Emergency Response Commission
    Florida State Emergency Response Commission Sub-Committee on Training (SOT) HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MEDICAL TREATMENT PROTOCOLS Version 3.3 TOXIDROMES Toxidromes are clinical syndromes that the patient presents with. These patterns of signs and symptoms are essential for the successful recognition of chemical exposure. The toxidromes identified in this protocol are chemical exposure based while others such as the opioids are found within general medical protocol. These chemical toxidromes are identified clinically into five syndromes: Irritant Gas Toxidrome Asphyxiant Toxidrome Corrosive Toxidrome Hydrocarbon and Halogenated Hydrocarbons Toxidrome Cholinergic Toxidrome Each can present as a clinical manifestation of the chemical/poisoning involved with some cross-over between toxidromes. This list combines the toxic syndromes found within NFPA 473 (A.5.4.1(2) and traditional syndromes.

  • Appendix H EPA Hazardous Waste Law
    Appendix H EPA Hazardous Waste Law This Appendix is intended to give you background information on hazardous waste laws and how they apply to you. For most U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements that apply to the University, the Safety Department maintains compliance through internal inspections, record keeping and proper disposal. In Wisconsin, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has adopted the EPA regulations, consequently EPA and DNR regulations are nearly identical. EPA defines This Appendix only deals with "hazardous waste" as defined by the EPA. hazardous waste as Legally, EPA defines hazardous waste as certain hazardous chemical waste. This hazardous chemical Appendix does not address other types of regulated laboratory wastes, such as waste; radioactive, infectious, biological, radioactive or sharps. Chapter 8 descibes disposal procedures infectious and biohazardous waste for animals. Chapter 9 describes disposal procedures for sharps and other waste that are regulated by can puncture tissue. Chapter 11 discusses Radiation and the Radiation Safety for other agencies. Radiation Workers provides guidelines for the disposal of radioactive waste. Procedures for medical waste are written by the UW Hospital Safety Officer. The Office of Biological Safety can provide guidance for the disposal of infectious and biological waste. EPA regulations focus on industrial waste streams. As a result, many laboratory chemical wastes are not regulated by EPA as hazardous chemical waste. However, many unregulated chemical wastes do merit special handling and disposal If a waste can be procedures. Thus, Chapter 7 and Appendix A of this Guide recommend disposal defined as: procedures for many unregulated wastes as if they were EPA hazardous waste.

  • Historical Use of Lead Arsenate and Survey of Soil Residues in Former Apple Orchards in Virginia
    HISTORICAL USE OF LEAD ARSENATE AND SURVEY OF SOIL RESIDUES IN FORMER APPLE ORCHARDS IN VIRGINIA by Therese Nowak Schooley Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN LIFE SCIENCES in Entomology Michael J. Weaver, Chair Donald E. Mullins, Co-Chair Matthew J. Eick May 4, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: arsenic, lead, lead arsenate, orchards, soil residues, historical pesticides HISTORICAL USE OF LEAD ARSENATE AND SURVEY OF SOIL RESIDUES IN FORMER APPLE ORCHARDS IN VIRGINIA Therese Nowak Schooley Abstract Inorganic pesticides including natural chemicals such as arsenic, copper, lead, and sulfur have been used extensively to control pests in agriculture. Lead arsenate (PbHAsO4) was first used in apple orchards in the late 1890’s to combat the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus). The affordable and persistent pesticide was applied in ever increasing amounts for the next half century. The persistence in the environment in addition to the heavy applications during the early 1900’s may have led to many of the current and former orchards in this country being contaminated. In this study, soil samples were taken from several apple orchards across the state, ranging from Southwest to Northern Virginia and were analyzed for arsenic and lead. Based on naturally occurring background levels and standards set by other states, two orchards sampled in this study were found to have very high levels of arsenic and lead in the soil, Snead Farm and Mint Spring Recreational Park. Average arsenic levels at Mint Spring Recreational Park and Snead Farm were found to be 65.2 ppm and 107.6 ppm, respectively.
