Laboratory Moving Procedure Fact Sheets Hazardous Waste Fact Sheets top of page Identifying Hazardous Wastes In Your Lab Laboratory personnel should treat all waste chemical solids, liquids, or containerized gases as hazardous wastes unless a specific chemical waste has been confirmed to be a non-hazardous waste by VEHS. A laboratory chemical becomes a "waste" when you no longer intend to use it, regardless of whether or not it has been used or contaminated. Also, spilled chemicals and absorbent materials used to clean the spill should be disposed of as hazardous waste. Please note that the term "chemical" includes items containing chemicals such as acrylamide gels, paints, solvents, degreasers, glues, varnishes, and disinfectants, in addition to stock chemicals and chemical solutions used in laboratory processes. Additional Information on the Definition of Hazardous Waste To ensure consistency with the hazardous waste determination process, laboratories should treat all waste chemicals as hazardous waste and allow VEHS to make the final determination as stated above. However, a more complete description of the hazardous waste determination process is provided here for informational purposes.

Next: Natural disasters Previous: Nitrogen loading Contents Chapter Two: The State of the Environment ... Global issues Toxic chemicals and hazardous waste Hazardous waste production The output of hazardous wastes worldwide was about 400 million tonnes a year in the early 1990s, of which some 300 million tonnes were produced by OECD countries (UNEP 1994a), mainly from chemical production, energy production, pulp and paper factories, mining industries, and leather and tanning processes. Progressively tighter regulatory controls have increased the costs of waste disposal in many countries. Export to developing countries with less stringent controls and a lower public awareness of the issue has been one way in which some companies have side-stepped these regulations. Officially, fewer than 1 000 tonnes a year are traded to developing countries but illegal traffic in hazardous waste poses a potentially serious threat to the environment and human health (de Nava 1996). One way of combating such trade is through the system called Prior Informed Consent (PIC) for Certain Hazardous Chemicals in International Trade. Operated by FAO and UNEP, PIC is a procedure that helps participating countries learn more about the characteristics of potentially hazardous chemicals that may be shipped to them, initiates a decision-making process on the future import of these chemicals and helps disseminate this decision to other countries (IRPTC 1999). The aim is to promote a shared responsibility between exporting and importing countries in protecting human health and the environment (see 'The Rotterdam Convention', page 202).
