<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><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Questions:<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>2] If incinerated, in what type of incinerator? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>
Other?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Bonus Question—<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>
