First PCBs, now DEHP ballasts
Conference
·
OSTI ID:54705
Half of all non-PCB fluorescent light ballasts contain a toxic chemical called di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). DEHP is listed as a hazardous substance under EPA`s Superfund regulations. Organizations discarding light ballasts should take the same precautions with their DEHP ballasts as they do with their PCB ballasts to avoid potential clean up liability. The best way to dispose of both types of ballasts is through combined incineration of the toxic materials and recycling of the metals contained within the ballasts.
