médicaments et emballages de catégorie P (déchets dangereux )

"EPA P-Listed Wastes
The EPA has designated certain chemical wastes as "acutely hazardous" and placed special restrictions on their accumulation and disposal.  These "P-Listed" wastes and their empty containers must be disposed of as hazardous waste through the EH&S Hazardous Waste Program.  Please label even empty containers of P-Listed wastes as "Hazardous Waste" and dispose of through the normal hazardous waste processes."

médicaments figurant sur la liste P de la RCRA

http://www.hercenter.org/hazmat/hazdeterm.cfm

The RCRA regulations include four lists of materials, designated with the letters F, K, P, and U. (The origin of the letter designations is obscure.) If the waste you are screening appears on the any of the lists, your task is done -- it's hazardous.

P-list

If you are interested in reducing the hazardous waste generated in your facility, eliminating or finding substitutes for P-listed chemicals is a good place to start. A small quantity -- one kilogram -- of a P-listed waste can cause a facility to be classified as a "large quantity generator," and to have to comply with more stringent rules as a consequence.

The P-list includes about 239 different "acutely toxic" substances, listed under about 135 different waste codes. (Some codes cover several substances.) HERC has identified 15 of these that you might expect to find in a healthcare facility. They are listed below, along with their waste codes and typical uses associated with each. The CAS numbers for these compounds can be found in the official list at 40 CFR 216.33.

Please note that our short list is not meant to be exhaustive, and also that states may impose restrictions that apply to wastes beyond those listed in the federal list.
