[Pharmwaste] Federal Incineration Reg

[Al White]

Sarah/ Stevan:

 

Incineration is a very cost intensive, non-sustainable practice, Additionally and most importantly it must be performed properly under strict monitoring conditions. The un-intended by-product “Dioxin” et.al. will be produced and released If the pharm compounds are not raised to proper temperatures and maintained for prescribed time intervals under prescribed containment conditions. This is not a simple task. I am amazed that this practice is even permitted.

I  would ask them to provide the reg. It is not true in Maine.

Hi all – 

Does anyone know of a federal regulation that prohibits the incineration of controlled substances? This is information I heard this morning, but the person I spoke with didn’t have any more information than this…
