From Technical Solutions
Although the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) imposes requirements for the disposal of certain pharmaceutical wastes, environmental responsibility extends beyond regulatory requirements. Veolia Environmental Services can help your facility identify Best Management Practices and implement them in your organization. The results of recent water quality studies indicate that current levels of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupters in the water supply are adversely affecting the reproductive cycles of aquatic species and may be impacting human health and development. One way these drugs have entered our water sources is through historical disposal practices by healthcare institutions. The Precautionary Principle is an approach to environmental practices that is under consideration by the Science and Environmental Health Network as a basis for environmental and public health policy and is gaining acceptance throughout the scientific community. This approach requires the proponent of an activity that appears to have adverse environmental effects to bear the burden of proving that the activitiy does not have deleterious consequences. Every healthcare institution must determine whether is pharmaceutical disposal practices meet the Precautionary Principle. Veolia Environmental Services understands the federal, state and local environmental requirements and assures that our customers are in compliance. We are committed to help our healthcare customers meet their environmental goals and incorporate environmentally safe practices into their daily routines.
