I have a few questions I would like to pose to subscribers to the
listserve:



1)  Is there data about effluent and ash from pharm waste incinerators
from some of the countries in Europe that is incinerating unused or
outdated pharmaceuticals?

2)  What is the volume of pharm waste per country that is being
incinerated (if segregated from medical waste)

2) Is there separation between packaging (plastic bottles) and the
medications prior to incineration?

3) What type of incinerators are utilized. Medical waste?  High
temperature?

4)  Are controlled drugs (CDs) separated from meds?  Are they handled
differently?

5) Are England, Scotland and Wales utilizing the denaturing of
controlled substances as a primary means of disposal?  Is incineration
used as a secondary means?



Thank you, I look forward to your responses.
