(1) Generation of fumes, excess heat, volatility, or even explosion;<br />
(2) Reactions that form unknown chemicals, which may have different hazards or change the<br />
hazard level of the waste. Sampling and analysis of unknowns are expensive to analyze prior<br />
to disposal;<br />
(3) Formation of a corrosive product that may result in incompatibility with the container and<br />
possibly cause the container to degrade and leak;<br />
14.2.3 Mixing Wastes<br />
14.2.3.1 Rules<br />
a. When mixing similar wastes, the following general compatibility rules shall be followed:<br />
(1) Separate highly toxic and less toxic wastes;<br />
(2) Separate halogenated and non-halogenated wastes (halogens are materials containing<br />
bromine, chlorine, fluorine, iodine, or astatine);<br />
(3) Separate liquids and solids;<br />
(4) Separate metal containing wastes from non-metal containing wastes (metals of specific<br />
concern are arsenic, barium, chromium, cadmium, lead, mercury, selenium, or silver);<br />
(5) Separate oils from other wastes; and<br />
(6) Separate waste types (flammables, corrosives, oxidizers, poisons, cyanides and sulfides,<br />
water or air reactives, etc.) from each other.<br />
14.2.3.2 Waste Compatibility List<br />
More specific information can be found in the Waste Compatibility List developed by the U.S.<br />
EPA, provided in Appendix C.<br />
14.2.4 Log Documentation<br />
a. Laboratories shall keep a separate log for each waste accumulation container, and include<br />
the following documentation for each addition:<br />
(1) The date waste was added to the container;<br />
(2) The name of person adding the waste;<br />
(3) The amount of waste added;<br />
(4) A detailed description of the added waste specifying the chemical name (not product name)<br />
and the percentages of each chemical in mixtures; and<br />
(5) A copy of the log accompanying the container when picked up for disposal.<br />
