Subject: Formaldehyde neutralizing vs recycling
Does anybody have any information or bias regarding formalin
treatment prior
to disposal or recycling? I'd like to hear from some places who are
treating their formalin before disposing of it, and from others who
are
recycling it. It seems expensive to neutralize the formalin, but
one has to
weigh that against collection and handling formalin (testing and
re-buffering, not to mention formaldehyde exposure with loading and
unloading a recycling machine). It seems that for the long run,
recycling
is the best bang for the buck, but I do have concerns about
increasing our
exposure levels with all that handling.
Thanks for your input!
