(PTI), announced today they have expanded their website to include an entire section on The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) Proposed Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals (CFR Part 266 Subpart P).

Impacted facilities include but are not limited to: hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, veterinary clinics, dental offices, chiropractors, coroner's offices and nursing care facilities just to name a few.
