Recommended Waste Stream Disposal
Depending on applicable environmental laws and regulations, the waste stream, which
contains fluorinated chemicals, should be incinerated in an industrial or commercial
facility in the presence of a combustible material.
Combustion products will include hydrofluoric acid.
The incineration facility must be capable of handling halogenated – particularly
fluorinated – materials.
Depending on applicable environmental laws and regulations, the non-infectious
aqueous samples and the solid materials (chips, tube strips, and caps, etc.) do not
need to be separated from the fluorinated oil.
Depending on applicable environmental laws and regulations, all components can be
collected in a single container, and the container can be incinerated as miscellaneous
lab debris.
Customers should consult with local authorities to determine specific state and local
requirements.
