Abstract: One result of the annual use of millions of pounds of pesticide chemicals each year is the production of numerous empty containers and other pesticide wastes. When the potentially toxic characteristics of the many pesticide formulations that are used are taken into consideration, the possibility of injury to man and the environment due to improper disposal can be considerable. Information on improved disposal technologies has been published to provide better management of pesticide wastes but fall short in that they do not cover all wastes or disposal methods. Regulations that are intended to control improper disposal have been promulgated under FIFRA and RCRA which, in general, are intended to control disposal methods in common use today such as land disposal, incineration, open burning, certain physical/chemical methods, and some systems that utilize biological degradation. The RCRA regulations also provide standards for construction and operation of certain disposal facilities. The regulations do not provide specific information to the pesticide user as to how to dispose of his wastes. One way to make such information readily available is to put it on the label of each pesticide product. Guidelines that establish data requirements to register certain pesticides have been published. Similar guidelines for disposal statements are being prepared the Environmental Protection Agency.
