Subject: Head's up--autoclave tape
Colleagues,
Most of you
probably already know this, but we didn’t. It turns out that some (mo
st?)
autoclave tape contains enough lead to fail the TCLP test. A commercial
research facility in Connecti
cut
was recently cited by EPA for improper disposal of hazardous waste for not
disposing of it properly. Sheesh.
See http:
//med.stanford.edu/somsafety/chemsafety/getLeadOut.html
I might be go
od to
make a list of all these things: “Things you don’t expect to be
hazardous waste—but are.”
What else wou
ld you
put on the list?
