Novato, CA
To celebrate Earth Day, CP Lab Safety departed from business as usual to furnish their customer base with an environmental newsletter, transcending company concerns to focus on a universal one. The article tackles an issue relevant to all contemporary households: how to dispose of household products (http://www.calpaclab.com/category-s/970.htm) (http://www.calpaclab.com/category-s/970.htm) deemed too toxic for conventional waste and recycling programs. While CP Lab Safety offers a unique solution for the containment of hazardous toxins in lab and industry environments, the purpose of the newsletter was to educate consumers on how to replicate these standards outside the workplace.
The information also highlights the health implications of these products, not only to the environment if improperly disposed, but to individuals if left in the home. Pharmaceuticals, for example, do not breakdown easily in the environment. A sample of mud from the Lake of the Ozarks or San Francisco Bay indicates the presence of 20 or more different antibiotics (http://novabay.com/blog-post/growing-crisis-antibiotic-re...). Even at low concentrations, many drugs can disrupt the nervous system, cause hormonal imbalance, and lead to antibiotic resistance.
A manufacturer of safety equipment for laboratory and industry, CP Lab Safety has embraced the environmental movement as part of its health and safety mission and vision. "When it comes to personal health and safety,” says company President Kelly Farhangi, “nothing is more important than protecting the earth and preserving our environment. Just as workers require a safe and unpolluted space to excel, a thriving planet is essential for people to prosper." To that end, the company has made a concerted effort to provide relevant data and increase awareness of environmental issues on all fronts.
Hazardous Items Haunting Your Household? How to Dispose of the Non-Disposable is a new blog from CP Lab Safety that provides valuable information on what to do with expired pharmaceuticals, makeup, and other household hazards.
