<p class="MsoNormal">While there seem to be many approaches in the accounts/case studies of pharma collections from community events and from health care facilities, final disposition is usually not addressed. If there is a mention at all in the collection
protocols I’ve read, “incineration” is usually used without definition.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1] What ultimately happens to the drugs that you collect or that are collected in your jurisdictions?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">For Air Quality regulators on the list [or one that you know to whom you can forward this], what are your State/Regional standards or requirements, if any? How do they ensure that this process is ultimately safer to health and environment
than landfill or sewer disposal?<o:p></o:p></p>
