just posted this on the Practice Greenhealth listserve, but thought it would be

<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Many
of our hospital pharmacy customers are surprised to find out that their
pharmaceutical inventory contains potentially corrosive waste other than a few
compounding chemicals. One good example of this is Sporanox Solution by
JOM. A review of the package insert indicates a target pH of
2. We have performed internal tests and found the mode average pH
to be closer to 1. A liquid waste with a pH of 1 is considered corrosive
waste by the EPA and carries an EPA waste code of D003. It is also
considered corrosive when shipping by the DOT and carries a DOT shipping number
of 8.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>We
have found the pharmaceutical corrosive waste stream to be overlooked in many
of the pharmaceutical inventories that we’ve analyzed. For those
pharmacies performing their own waste identification analysis, I would
encourage them to closely review the pH’s of the liquids and solutions in
their inventory. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
