Hazardous Waste Label Update
Starting February 28, the University of Missouri's Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) will require all hazardous waste containers to use new neon green labels, in line with updated EPA and MODNR regulations.
New Methylene Chloride Regulations
In April 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to enhance safety measures for methylene chloride usage. These regulations prohibit many common applications, including paint stripping, degreasing, and adhesive removal, while permitting certain uses under stringent safety protocols. The University of Missouri's Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) department is actively assisting faculty, staff, and researchers in adhering to these updated standards.
