This waste stream requires specific handling and packaging requirements for disposal. Potential dangers exist from the handling of cytotoxic drugs due to the combination of its inherent toxicity, individual susceptibility, concurrent exposure to known carcinogens, and the level and type of exposure. Exposure may occur through inadvertent ingestion of drug in foodstuffs or cosmetics, inhalation of drug dusts or droplets, or direct skin contact. All personnel who handle cytotoxic drugs should have training in the procedures and access to information pertaining to their responsibilities.
