13. 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.

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

15. Engine Coolant - Solutions • Waste Reduction • Look at antifreeze for contaminants, and test for freeze point and pH. • 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.

16. 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

21. Liquid WasteIn-Shop Usage • Cleaning liquids • Acids • Alkaline solutions • Waste water

22. 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 • 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

25. Cleaning Liquids - Problems • Regulations • 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

26. Cleaning Liquids - Solutions • Waste Reduction • n-Hexane Usage • Ventilation • Respiratory Protection • Skin Protection • Substitution • Use Less • Brake and Carburetor Cleaners • Aqueous Brake Cleaning

27. 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

28. 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

29. 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.

37. Waste Water - Solutions • Recycling • Use oil-only absorbents to separate and recycle oil from your OWS • Use microbes to digest oil in your OWS

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

39. 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 rags Wastewater and Floor Drain Sludge 6-3 (a)

40. 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.
