<p class=MsoNoSpacing>I just posted this on the Practice Greenhealth listserve,
but thought it would be beneficial to many of the members of this Pharmwaste
listserve as well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing>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></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing>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></p>
