[Pharmwaste] RE: Feb 27 Supreme Court Conference

[Jim Mullowney]

On the same lines as the court decision for the unused drugs I think the
used chemotherapy drugs (contained in urine and feces) would follow the same
precedent. .

 

Two recent studies of chemotherapy patients in their homes found exposure
and contamination of the home setting and the patient's family's urine.
Studies are attached.

 

The patient's chemo drugs were found in the family member's urine samples
and significant surface contamination was also documented in the bathroom,
with high levels on the floor.

 

Please spread this around. The studies can also be found at
www.cytotoxicsafety.org 

 

Thank you all

 

Jim Mullowney

I just checked the SC's website and there's one more addition, dated 2/12.
Ed, does this mean that the Court has until March 16th to release their
decision about whether or not they will hear the appeal?

Posted on the Supreme Court Website yesterday:
Feb 11 2015   DISTRIBUTED for Conference of February 27, 2015.


I take this to mean that during their February 27 Conference, the Justices
will discuss, and possibly vote on, if they will hear the appeal (both the
Petition for a writ of certiorari and the two motions for leave to file
amici brief) later in this years session (or possibly in next years
session?) or, if they will let the lower court ruling stand.
