Epinephrine Salts – Medicinal Nitroglycerine – P & U Listed Syringe Waste
Following is a list of each state and whether or not they are consistent with the EPA’s stance on Epinephrine Salts, Medicinal Nitroglycerine and P & U Listed Used Syringe Waste.
Epinephrine Salts
SUMMARY: Epinephrine Salts are not a P-Listed waste. DETAILS: USEPA Memo Dated 10/07/2007. Subject: Scope of Hazardous Waste Rule Listing (Epinephrine) This was not an official rule change. Rather it was a memorandum by the EPA giving guidance. States do not adopt such documents, however, they can concur or agree with the EPA’s stance. http://www.epa.gov/region1/healthcare/pdfs/EpiMemo_Final.pdf
Medicinal Nitroglycerine
SUMMARY: Medicinal Nitroglycerin is not a P-Listed waste. DETAILS: On 5/16/2001, the EPA excluded all P and U-Listed wastes listed solely for an ignitability, reactivity or corrosivity characteristic once they no longer exhibit a characteristic. Since Nitroglycerin (P081) is listed solely for its reactivity characteristic and medicinal nitroglycerin does not exhibit the reactivity characteristic, this removes Nitroglycerin from the EPA P-Listed waste. This was an official rule change by the EPA (Mixture and Derived-From Rules) USEPA Federal Register Environmental Document, Hazardous Waste Identification Rule ACTION: Final rule. [Federal Register: May 16, 2001 (Volume 66, Number 95)][Rules and Regulations][ Page 27286], 40 CFR 261.3(g)(1). Note, some states may not have official documentation adopting this rule change, however, their state regulations automatically accept any rule change by the EPA. http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/osw/meeting/pdf02/atagi.pdf P & U Listed Used Syringe Waste
SUMMARY: Residue in a used syringe is exempt from being a P or U listed Waste. DETAILS: USEPA Letter Dated 4/18/2008. Subject: Scope of Hazardous Waste Rule Listing (Epinephrine) This was not an official rule change. Rather it was a memorandum by the EPA giving guidance. States do not adopt such documents, however, they can concur or agree with the EPA’s stance. http://www.epa.gov/region1/healthcare/pdfs/EpiMemo_Final.pdf
