Film Processing and Silver Waste Generation
Photo processing and film developing systems are routinely used at The Ohio State University for activities ranging from art projects to medical research. Photo processing wastes may contain silver which is considered a toxic heavy metal by the Environmental Protection Agency. The silver is primarily present as soluble silver thiosulfate complex. Silver sulfide is present in smaller amounts.
Pesticide Management
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the use of pesticides under the authority of two federal statutes: the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act provide the basis for regulations, sale, distribution, and uses of pesticides in the U.S. Also, FIFRA authorizes EPA to review and register pesticides for specific applications.

Indoor Flood Cleanup and Mold Remediation
The purpose of this SOP is to outline proper methods for cleanup and disposal following an indoor water release (flood), which may result in damaged building materials. The prompt cleanup of water is necessary to minimize property loss and prevent microbial growth. This SOP also details proper methods for mold remediation if cleaning and drying was not successful or if mold is identified during initial inspection. It is also essential to identify and eliminate the source of moisture that has contributed to the water damage or mold growth as part of the remediation process.PPE Selection Guide - Respiratory Protection
