5% of medicines sold in 1976 were designated as hazardous waste. Unfortunately, the RCRA lists have not been updated to consider the thousands of new medicines, including chemotherapy drugs that have been developed in the last thirty years. One estimate
suggests that if the RCRA lists were updated, approximately 15% of medicines sold today would be considered hazardous. A recent report from the U.S. EPA’s Office of the Inspector General, titled “EPA Inaction in Identifying Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals
May Result in Unsafe Disposal”, called on the EPA to create a process for updating the lists and ensuring that healthcare facilities are disposing of all waste medicines properly.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:110%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

quantities of pharmaceuticals. I don’t think it defines what a small quantity is, nor do I think it addresses RCRA hazardous vs non-haz. The permit in question doesn’t mention any generator limitations (i.e.: contraband from law enforcement, take-back events,
etc.). I had the opportunity to see the larger incinerator, though I did not see it in operation. I think I have some pictures if interested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

events. There is a federal exemption from air permitting for these units for destroying “contraband”. However, according to EPA, that exemption does not apply when burning drugs from take-back events. In Florida, it appears that some law enforcement agencies
that use these units are not aware that the air permitting exemption is limited to contraband. We are going to provide this clarifying information to our law enforcement agencies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here in Ohio, we’re discussing the usage of the portable incinerators, from an air pollution standpoint. I’ve been working with a colleague in the Ohio EPA Division of Air Pollution Control. I’d like to know if anyone is aware of any
recent research on the effectiveness of portable incinerators, or if they are being used in other states. And if you would like to share incineration options in your state, I would be interested in hearing them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
