Hi All,<br>
The other part of whether RCRA or not is state definitions. Federal
RCRA, the percent from HH collections is probably very low. Even in
hospitals, the RCRA percent is between 5-10. <br>

number will vary by the target
audience who if elderly will have one characteristic, one aimed at kids

adolescents ( don’t laugh) will be different. There are also regional
well known variabilities in prescribing patterns across the <st1:country-region
