concerned. To ensure compliance we recommend that you contact the relevant
(local) authorities and/or an approved waste-disposal company for information.
Sodium azide preservative may form explosive compounds in metal drain lines.
See
. NIOSH Bulletin: Explosive Azide Hazard (8/16/76).
To avoid the possible build-up of azide compounds, flush wastepipes with water
after the disposal of undiluted reagent. Sodium azide disposal must be in
accordance with appropriate local regulations.

Section 13 Disposal Considerations


13.1 Waste treatment methods
Product Waste Disposal Chemical residues and remains should be routinely handled as special waste. This
must be disposed of in compliance with anti-pollution and other laws of the country
concerned. To ensure compliance we recommend that you contact the relevant
(local) authorities and/or an approved waste-disposal company for information.
Sodium azide preservative may form explosive compounds in metal drain lines.
See
. NIOSH Bulletin: Explosive Azide Hazard (8/16/76).
To avoid the possible build-up of azide compounds, flush wastepipes with water
after the disposal of undiluted reagent. Sodium azide disposal must be in
accordance with appropriate local regulations.
Dispose of as potentially biohazardous waste and in compliance with
anti-pollution and other laws of the country concerned. To ensure compliance we
recommend that you contact the relevant (local) authorities and/or and approved
waste-disposal company for information.
Package disposal Dispose of waste product, unused product and contaminated packaging in
compliance with federal, state and local regulations. If unsure of the applicable
requirements, contact the authorities for information.
13.2 Additional information Suggested European waste catalogue 18 01 07 - chemicals other than those
mentioned in 18 01 06. Dispose in accordance with national, state and local
waste regulations.
