How does the detail search logic work?
For each specific product, PharmEcology has developed multiple criteria based on the EPA regulations, such as toxicity, ignitability, corrosivity and reactivity. Depending on which criteria are met for that item, a hazardous waste designation and recommended waste category are given in the search. For those items, such as some chemotherapy agents, which are recognized as hazardous drugs by the healthcare industry and OSHA, but not by EPA, a PharmE Hazardous waste category is indicated, suggesting a recommended hazardous waste stream. The PharmE Waste Wizard also indicates if a state’s hazardous waste regulations are stricter than the federal regulations.
