Barry, we deal with SQG and MQG in all 50 states, so won't speak to hospitals. But we find solutions to what we term RightClassification are not only education and internal monitoring, but also having all the proper labeling/signage and the right containment options available at the individual points of generation...setting the employees up to succeed. Regulatory oversight helps to identify gaps in generator programs and needed adjustments to processes to assure compliance.

Once again I find your articles very interesting but, still do not see the relevance to pharmaceutical waste unless you can enlighten me ( would be interesting to know what pharmaceuticals seen by healthcare facilities this may apply to) on how these issues are going to trickle down to hospitals and healthcare facilities concerned about disposal of pharmaceuticals and/or how it relates to enforcement by the regulatory agencies.

After visiting well over 100 hospitals in Florida and the Southeast, I would like to pose a question to the group concerning pharmaceutical waste disposal. How do biomedical waste companies attempt to (at least) ensure that RCRA Hazardous Pharmaceutical waste does not get disposed of in RMW or sharps containers prior to them being incinerated or sent
to an autoclave then landfill?? Follow up question... How do the regulatory agencies verify this is being done?

I was just enlightening someone the other day... From my experience... The best way to check a hospitals pharmaceutical waste program is
to peek inside a sharps container. You'd be surprised what you may find inside just by viewing from the opening.

Hi Barry and all,

Apparently PFOA/S are used in pharmaceuticals as well as a myriad of other
products.

Appreciate the info/ post ( and others posted prior) but it seems to me that
this group seems to be going off in other directions from the main purpose
of this page ... "pharmaceutical waste"
