Engine Coolant - Problems Environmental Impact Antifreeze is Hazardous if it contains lead or other metals, fuel or solvents. Improper Management and Disposal Pouring antifreeze into a floor drain. Never dump antifreeze on the ground, to a storm sewer, or to a body of water. Children and animals like the sweet taste and can become very ill or even die. Fish kills have resulted from antifreeze in streams. Never discharge antifreeze to a septic system - it can interfere with bacteria function.

Engine Coolant - Problems Worker Safety Regulations Many states regulate used antifreeze as a hazardous waste.

Engine Coolant - Solutions Waste Reduction Look at antifreeze for contaminants, and test for freeze point and p. H. Fresh ethylene glycol or corrosion inhibitors can be added to adjust these parameters. Reuse antifreeze when possible - avoid unnecessary disposal of good antifreeze. Recycling Recycle and reuse whenever possible.

Engine Coolant - Solutions Waste Management “Safer” Antifreeze Propylene glycol has been introduced as a “non-toxic antifreeze” Only slightly less toxic to humans and animals. “Safer” antifreeze is hazardous if contaminated with fuel, solvents or lead

Liquid Waste In-Shop Usage Cleaning liquids Acids Alkaline solutions Waste water

Cleaning Liquids Cleaning solutions, solvents and degreasers come in three forms: These cleaning liquids are generally applied in four ways: Parts Washers - Mineral Spirits Parts Washers – Aqueous Brake And Carburetor Cleaners N-Hexane Use as a Brake Cleaner Do you use any of these products?

Cleaning Liquids - Problems Environmental Impact

Cleaning Liquids - Problems Worker Safety n-Hexane How to know if you are working with n Hexane How n-Hexane enters your body How n- Hexane Can Affect Your Health Effects on the Nervous System Other Effects Are there any tests for health effects and exposure? How to control your exposure

Cleaning Liquids - Problems Regulations that help to protect workers from n-Hexane Permissible Exposure Limits Monitoring Hazard Communication Standard Injury and Illness Prevention Program Access to Medical and Exposure Records

Cleaning Liquids - Solutions Recycling Waste Management Managing aqueous cleaning wastes Waste Solution Used filters Skimmed oil Simple sludge management Keeping aerosol products away from aqueous brake washers

Proper Solvent Usage Do not add any chemicals to solvent Pre-clean parts of excessive dirt, sludge and grease Dispose of these properly Do not allow solvent to enter waste oil container Do not allow solvent to enter waste water

Reduce Waste in Parts Washing Clean parts in a parts washer with a lid do not clean in an open bucket/pan Keep parts washer lids closed and spray nozzles turned off -- reduce evaporation. Locate units away from heat sources and drafts - prevent evaporation Drain parts thoroughly in parts washer prevent drips. Parts Washing 3 -5 (a)

Waste Water - Solutions Waste Management Car Repair and Car Wash Bioremediation Benefits Limitations of Bioremediation

Waste Water Pollution Prevention Replace hazardous cleaners with mild soaps to clean floors and vehicles. Read product MSDS prior to purchasing to eliminate corrosive or toxic cleaners. Stop drips and spills from reaching the floor Use drip pans and good housekeeping. Clean spills immediately, using a dedicated mop and bucket or launderable Wastewater and Floor Drain Sludge 6 -3 (a) rags

Waste Water Pollution Prevention Never clean spills by hosing them down with water. Do work in areas without floor drains, or seal drains temporarily during work. Seal drains permanently to prevent spills from contaminating wastewater. Store hazardous wastes and hazardous materials away from drains or seal drains. Wastewater and Floor Drain Sludge 6 -3 (b)
