<br>
<br>
<br>
I have a few questions I would like to pose to subscribers to the<br>
listserve:<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
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from some of the countries in Europe that is incinerating unused or outdated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?<br>
<br>
2) What is the volume of pharm waste per country that is being
incinerated (if segregated from medical waste)<br>
<br>
2) Is there separation between packaging (plastic bottles) and the medications
prior to incineration?<br>
<br>
3) What type of incinerators are utilized. Medical waste? High
temperature?<br>
<br>
4) Are controlled drugs (CDs) separated from meds? Are they handled
differently?<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you, I look forward to your responses.<br>
