Why focus on Chemicals and Hazardous Wastes?
Global production of chemicals has increased from 1M tons in
1930 to 400M at present

More than 20M known substances

About 100,000 different substances registered in EU and

10,000 are marketed in quantities or volumes >10T

Certain chemicals have caused

 Serious damages to human and the environment e.g. asbestos,
benzene, trichloroethane (TCA), trichloroethylene (TCE), DDT
 Incidence of some diseases has increased
 Some are persistent and becomes endocrine disruptor

TOXICITY
• poisonous (acute)
• carcinogenic, teratogenic, or mutagenic effect on
human and other organisms (chronic)
• Substance is threat to water supplies

TCLP – Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure

REACTIVITY:
 unstable under normal conditions and readily undergo
violent changes without detonating;
 reacts violently with water and create spontaneously
explosive mixtures of toxic gases, vapors, and fumes; and
 capable of detonating (explosion)

 CHARACTERISTICS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

IGNITABILITY:
• can create fire under certain conditions;
• friction sensitive substances like solvents;
• Causes or enhances fire

Some of the Hazardous Waste with this characteristics have good heating
value and could be utilized as an alternative fuel, while others are recoverable

CORROSIVITY:
 acidic or basic capable of corroding metals;
 by chemical action, can cause severe damage
when in contact with living tissue

 No hazardous wastes may

be:
 dumped down the drain
 discharged to sanitary
sewer
 discarded with the
garbage
 allowed to evaporate
into the atmosphere
 Storage Requirements
• Accessible
• Enclosed but adequately ventilated
• Impermeable floors
• Properly secured
• Provision for proper waste segregation
• Provision for proper drum handling & storage
• Emergency response equipment
• Storage time limits

 Location of Waste

 Identify a specific location in the lab

 Avoid the use of the floor

 Use secondary containment where necessary

 If possible, do not use the fume hood for long

term storage of waste

 Inspect storage areas weekly

 Segregation of Chemicals

 All chemical waste is to be stored so

that incompatibles are not next to each
other
 Never mix incompatible chemicals
 A compatibility chart is available at the
link below:

www.aecom.yu.edu/ehs/Lab%20Safety/LS_incompat.htm
 Mixed wastes

 Do not mix the following wastes:

 Chemical with biological
 Chemical with radiological

 Biological with radiological

 Lab supplies (needles, pipettes, tubes, gloves)

with chemical or radiological
 Halogenated with non-halogenated solvents

 Solvents with aqueous waste

 Incompatible chemicals
 Consolidating chemicals

 The following chemical solvents may be

consolidated in the same bottle:

Acetone Acetonitrile Benzene

Cyclohexanone Ethanol Ethyl acetate
Ethylbenzene Isopropanol Methanol
Methyl ethyl ketone Nitrobenzene Toluene
Xylene
 Any time a new chemical is added to a container,
write the full name of the chemical(s) on the
hazardous waste label
 Inspection of Waste

Inspect waste once a week to

ensure:
Chemical waste is labeled with the
EH&S “Hazardous Waste” label
Container label identifies contents
Containers are kept closed
Containers are not corroded
Containers are in secondary
containment
Containers are dated
 Inspection of Waste (cont.)

Chemical waste is not leaking

Chemicals and waste are segregated so that
incompatible chemicals are not next to each
other
Waste is placed in proper containers
Accumulation areas are close to the place where
waste is generated and under the control of the
area supervisor
 Labeling Requirements

• Proper labeling should be done at the waste

generator’s facility and should be maintained
up to the TSD facility

• Label is accompanied by a placard

corresponding to characteristics of the wastes
contained in the vessel, container, tank or
containment building

Geri-Geronimo R. Sañez
Chief, Hazardous Waste Management Section
Environmental Quality Division
Environmental Management Bureau
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
 Labeling
 A waste label must be
placed on the waste
container as soon as the
first drop of waste is added

 A waste label must be

placed on all hazardous
waste containers, even if
the original label is present
on the chemical bottle
 Symbols Accompanying the Label
Specifications of Symbols

1. The minimum size of the symbol is 25 cm x 25cm

for vessels, containers, and tanks and 30cm x
30cm for conveyances carrying vessels,
containers, and tanks.

2. Basic shape of the symbols is a square rotated

45 degrees to form a diamond.

3. At each of the four sides, a parallel line shall be

drawn to form an inner diamond 95 % of the
