6 <br /> 2. r In any processing, dispersal of hazardous <br /> material such as aerosols, liquids, etc. , <br /> shall be precluded through the use of proper <br /> coverings, seals, ventilation, etc. ,, and. <br /> personnel. shall be portected against contact <br /> with the material through the use of protective <br /> clothing and gear. <br /> III. DISPOSAL: <br /> A. DISPOSAL DEFINED: Disposal, for purposes of these <br /> guidelines, is the final treatment or combination <br /> of treatments in the conversion of disposable <br /> hazardous or infectious wastes to innocuous <br /> material. It begins after the discharge of the <br /> wastes into the final treatment system- i.e. , after <br /> discharge into the sewage treatment system, <br /> incinerator or sanitary landfill. <br /> B. SPECIAL PH--6JPARATIQN: <br /> 1 . The sooner the infectious waste can be steral- <br /> ized by autoclaving, chemical treatment, or <br /> some equally effective process, the sooner the <br /> waste can be combines with the conventional <br /> refuse. <br /> 2. The sooner the 11sharps" can be rendered safe <br /> by melting, pulverizing or some equally <br /> effective process, the sooner the waste can be <br /> combined with conventional refuse. <br /> C. PREFERRED SYSTEMIS: The preferred disposal system <br /> is the one which exhibits the most balance among <br /> the factors of conservation, economics, health, <br /> safety and aesthetics. Such systems are: <br /> 1 . For liquids (no grinding) - t-reatment in a <br /> sewage treatment plant cap abl-e of rendering <br /> the w,,aste innocv.ous (secondary treatment plant, <br /> at least) . <br /> 2. For combustible solids - complete incineration <br /> followed. by disposal of the ash in a sanitary <br /> landfill. If incineration is not feasible, <br /> then disposal is to be accomplished as set <br /> forth in b`3 below. <br /> 3. For noncombustible solids ® burial in a sanitary <br /> landfill while packaged. in containers which <br /> clearly identify it as hazardous wastes (See E-3) . <br /> These containers shall]- be handled separately <br /> from other wastes until burial. Burial is to <br /> take place immediately upon receipt at the <br /> landfill. <br />
