    Environmental Guidelines for

    Amateur Photographers

    As a photographer, you have aunique sensitivity to the environ-ment around you. But, as an

    amateur photographer, you donthave to worry about theenvironmental and safetyregulations that apply tocommercial businesses andprofessional photographers.

    But you still need to know how tosafely handle and dispose ofphotographic processing chemicals.

    An amateur is someone whoengages in an activity as a pastimerather than a profession. Anamateur photographer does notgenerate (or try to generate) revenuefrom the use of photography. Whenyou become a professional

    AMATEUR ORPROFESSIONAL?

    photographer and charge for yourservices, you are required by law to

    comply with certain environmentaland workplace safety regulations(some of which are covered in thispublication). As an amateurphotographer, you are not requiredby law to follow those regulationsbut we are providingrecommendations on safe handlingand waste management practices.

    Chemicals are safe when handledproperlythats why its importantto know and understand thechemicals youre working with andthe appropriate protective measuresyou should use when handlingthem.

    J-3002

    When working with photographicprocessing chemicals, you shouldwear protective clothing to ensure

    your safety. Whenever the potentialexists for chemicals to get in youreyes, wear safety glasses with sideshields. When mixing chemicals,wear tight-fitting goggles. Wearimpervious gloves, such as thosemade with Neoprene or Nitrile, toprevent contact with skin. Youshould also wear an apron, or otherprotective clothing that isimpervious to chemicals, to preventchemicals from coming in contactwith your clothing.

    Some Kodak photographicprocessing solutions may releasevapors or gases that can irritate theeyes and respiratory tract and haveunpleasant odors. When processingsolutions are warm, they maygenerate more vapors. In addition,temperature affects processingtimes. Therefore, it is important that

    you work with solutions at theproper temperatures. For your ownpersonal comfort and good healthpractices, you should minimize theconcentration of these chemicals bycontrolling ventilation. Werecommend using a room with asource of fresh air for darkroom use.Here are some ventilationguidelines for manual sink-line oropen tray processing areas: Supply tempered fresh air to the

    darkroom above the processing

    solutions. Position the supply offresh air so that it will not affectthe capture of vapors or gases bythe exhaust opening.

    PERSONAL PROTECTIVEEQUIPMENT

    VENTILATION

    Exhaust the room air from theprocessing chemical area to theoutdoors at a minimum rate of10 room volumes per hour1 If youhave a fresh-air supply duct toyour darkroom, set your exhaustrate slightly higher than the

    supply rate. This produces a slightnegative pressure and reduces thechance of vapors or gasesescaping to an adjoining room.

    To determine how much exhaustper hour is required for yourdarkroom: Determine room volume

    (h x l x w)

    Multiply by 10

    Divide by 60 minutes

    Most darkrooms are 10 h x 10 l x

    8 w which equals 800 cubicfeet (ft3). Therefore,

    A Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) is available for every Kodakchemical you purchase. The MSDStells you how to use, handle, andstore the product safely. The contentof MSDSs varies from one productto the next. Among the topicscovered are: Product Information: identifying

    the name of the product and anyother trade names.

    There are two types of wastesolidwastes and processing effluent. Mostsolid wastes are packagingmaterials. The waste produced from

    processing photographic films andpapers is called photographiceffluent; it includes developer, fixer,bleaches, and wash water. There aremany different ways to managesolid and effluent waste materials.

    MANAGING WASTE

    The best way to help theenvironmentand yourselfis touse photographic processingsolutions efficiently. You can

    accomplish this by: Buying only the supplies you

    need. This way, you wont bestoring unused photoprocessingchemicals past theirrecommended shelf life and later,having to dispose of them.

    Mixing only the amount ofphotographic processingchemicals you need; this way, youwont have to dispose ofadditional materials.

    REDUCING WASTE

    Before you can decide how todispose of photographic processingchemicals, you need to know what

    type of waste disposal system youhave. The type of system you haveand the types of materials you needto dispose of will determine howyou dispose of your waste. There aretwo types of waste disposalsystemssewer and septic.

    The majority of wastewatergenerated in our communitiestravels through the sewer system toa Publicly Owned Treatment Works

    (POTW). The POTW is responsiblefor treating the wastewater thatcomes through its facility. The waterthat leaves the POTW aftertreatment must comply with federal

    SEWER SYSTEMSand state regulatory limitsestablished under the Clean WaterAct. In order to comply, the localPOTW must establish pretreatmentguidelines (commonly referred to assewer codes) that impact businesses.

    As a domestic useran amateurphotographeryou are excludedfrom these regulations. Mostphotographic chemicals can be sentto the sewer. They include:

    Developers

    Stop baths

    Fixers (after silver recovery)

    If you are on a sewer system, the bestwayand the most appropriateis todispose of your photographic processing

    effluent through the sewer system. Mostphotographic processing solutionsare biodegradable and are effectivelytreated when discharged to POTWs.POTWs that have secondary(biological) wastewater treatment caneffectively treat the waste streamthrough the use of biological action,such as bacteria nutrients andaeration, to break down the waste itreceives so that it may be safelydischarged to a body of water.

    Photographic processing effluentincludes developer, fixer, bleach, andwash water involved in processingfilms and papers. Two keycharacteristics of photoprocessingeffluent are pH and the concentrationof silver. Developer has a high pHand is therefore alkaline or caustic.Fixer has a low pH and is thereforeacidic. When fixer and developer arecombined as the total processeffluent, the effluent is neutralized,resulting in a better compatibility

    with drain pipes and treatment at thePOTW.Another key characteristic of

    photoprocessing effluent is the silverconcentration found in photographicfixer or bleach-fix effluent. Althoughthe form of silver (silver thiosulfate)found in photographic processingeffluent is not harmful and isremoved during secondary treatmentat the POTW, it is a good practice torecover silver before discharging theeffluent. See page 6 for information

    on silver recovery.If you do not want to recover silver

    from used photographic fixer orbleach-fix, you may choose to utilizeother disposal options, such ashousehold hazardous wastecollection. Refer to the section onWaste Management Alternatives forSeptic Systems for additional

    information.

    WASTE MANAGEMENTOPTIONS

    Septic tank systems are designedand used for the disposal ofdomestic waste, primarily in areaswhere municipal sewers are

    unavailable. They operate withanaerobic (without oxygen)biological action to treat the wastesdischarged. This also includes leachfields and cesspools.

    Septic systems do not have theability to properly treatphotographic processing solutionwaste. Regulations have beenestablished by the United StatesEnvironmental Protection Agency(USEPA) and many states tominimize the potential of adverselyaffecting sources of undergrounddrinking water. Although theseregulations typically do not impactdomestic users, such as amateurphotographers, we recommend thatyou contact your local healthdepartment to determine whetherdischarging photographicprocessing effluents into your septicsystem is appropriate for your

    location.

    SEPTIC SYSTEMS

    Kodak does no trecommend the use ofseptic systems for disposal of

    photographic processing chemicals because the disposal ofphotographic processing solutionsmay affect the proper operation ofthe septic system. Other disposaloptions are available for septicsystem users, including householdwaste collection facilities, dischargeto a nearby municipal treatmentplant, or a licensed hazardous wastehauler. Table I provides a summaryof waste management optionswhich are available for Kodakproducts.

    Most communities have localhousehold hazardous wastecollection facilities. These facilitiesare available to the public to collectitems from domestic use that shouldnot be disposed of through

    municipal trash, septic, or sewersystems. This option is available ifyou generate less than 220 pounds(100 kilograms) of hazardous wasteper calendar month. Most homehobbyist photographers fall wellbelow this limit.

    You can also discharge yourphotographic wastes to a localmunicipal sewer authority, oftenreferred to as a Publicly OwnedTreatment Works (POTW). Contactthe POTW directly to see if they will

    accept your waste.The third option available is to

    contract with a licensed hazardouswaste hauler to manage yourphotographic processing wastes foroff-site disposal. You may check theyellow pages of your local phonebook for a list of waste managementcompanies in your area. (There is a

    fee for this service.)

    We do notrecommend that you disposeof used or unused photographicprocessing solution in your regulartrash. This is to ensure the safety ofthe trash collectors who would notknow that this material is in the trashand could possibly come into contact

    with it.

    MUNICIPAL TRASH

    DISPOSAL

    Used KODAK Rapid Selenium Toneris regulated as a hazardous wasteunder the USEPA Resource

    Conservation and Recovery Act(RCRA) regulations for commercialusers. We recommend that domesticusers do not discharge this materialto the sewer or discard it in themunicipal trash. Use a householdhazardous waste collection facility ora licensed hazardous waste hauler tomanage this material.

    KODAK Indicator Stop Bathcontains acetic acid. It has a very lowpH (1.0). Neutralize this solutionwith sodium bicarbonate (baking

    soda) solution prior to sending thematerial to the sewer. This will helpprotect your drain pipes. Add thesodium bicarbonate slowly to thesolution because it will causefoaming. Neutralize the solution in awell ventilated area using properpersonal protective equipment(gloves, goggles, and apron).

    If you do not want to neutralize theIndicator Stop Bath prior to disposal,you may choose to utilize other

    disposal options, such as householdhazardous waste collection. Refer tothe previous section on WasteManagement Alternatives for SepticSystems for additional information.

    For information on managingdiscontinued Kodak products, pleasecontact Kodak at 1-800-242-2424 oremail [email protected] for assistance.

    DISPOSAL OF OTHERKODAKPRODUCTS

    DISCONTINUED KODAKPRODUCTS

    You can find silver in a number ofdifferent materials when youprocess photographic materials. Theoriginal source of silver is

    photographic films and papers.Once processed, silver can beretained in the photographicmaterial or transferred to solutionsused to process the photographicmaterials. Commercial business andphotographers must recover silverfrom photoprocessing effluent tomeet sewer discharge limitsestablished by POTWs. Amateurphotographers are not required torecover silver. But whether you are aprofessional or amateurphotographer, silver recoveryprovides environmental benefits,conserves a natural resource, andmay provide a source of revenue.

    The amount of silver found inphotoprocessing effluent willdepend upon the amount of film orpaper youve processed. See Table IIfor typical silver concentrations. Forsmall volume users like amateurphotographers, metallic replace-ment is usually a good method for

    recovering silver from photographicprocessing effluent. In this method,iron metal (steel wool) reacts withthe silver in the fixer solution. Theiron replaces the silver in solution,while the less active metal (silver)settles out as a solid sludge. To bringthe silver in contact with the iron,the used fixer passes through thecontainer filled with steel wool. Thesteel wool provides the source ofiron to replace the silver.

    The advantages to using metallicreplacement cartridges are the lowinitial cost (approximately $50 each),and the simplicity of installingthemall you have to do are a fewsimple plumbing connections. The

    disadvantage of metallicreplacement is that the silver isrecovered as a sludge, which makesit more difficult to determine theexact amount of silver recoveredand requires more costly refining.Also, you cannot reuse cartridges;you must replace them when theybecome exhausted. For small-volume users, such as amateurphotographers, metallicreplacement cartridges usually lastabout six months.

    You can recover silver from smallbatches of fixer by pouring thesolution into a metallic replacementcartridge. You can use the KODAKChemical Recovery Cartridge,

    Junior Model II.

    To use metallic replacementcartridges as efficiently as possible,fill them with water before you use

    them. This will allow the solution tocome into contact with the greatestsurface area of steel wool andprevent channeling. Regardless ofthe amount of effluent passedthrough it, never use a cartridge formore than six months. The cartridgeis used to remove silver from thefixer/bleach fix solution only. Donot add developer or any otherchemical to the cartridge. Addingdeveloper or other chemicals willdestroy the cartridge and inhibit the

    silver-recovery process.

    TIPS FOR RECOVERINGSILVER

    After the metallic replacementcartridge is exhausted, you have tosend it to a refiner to reclaim thesilver that is present in the form of a

    sludge in the cartridge. For a list ofrefiners, visit www.kodak.com/go/kes.

    You can choose from several optionsfor managing the solid wasteassociated with processing Kodakfilms and papers. Refer to Table IIIfor guidelines on what to do withthese materials.

    Recycling KODAK Photochemical Containers

    PREPARING KODAKPHOTOCHEMICALCONTAINERS FOR RECYCLING

    You can help minimize solid waste by participating inyour local community recycling program. Thefollowing information will help you in preparingempty plastic or glass Kodak photochemical containersfor recycling in your local recycling program:

    1. Follow the recommendations for personalprotect ion and venti lat ion, as described in theproduct Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), whilerinsing the empty container.

    2. Emptythe container of all residual product, anddispose of the residual in accordance with all local,

    state, and federal regulations.3. To minimize splattering and respiratory exposure,

    slowly rinse caps and empty containers with coldwater. In some instances, the chemical residue mayreact with water if present in high concentrations.Dispose of the rinsate (rinse water) in accordancewith all local, state, and federal regulations.

    4. Repeat the rinsing of the containers two moretimes; you can use warm water (approximately100 F) for the final rinse to increase the solubilityof any remaining chemicals.

    5. Once you no longer need the caps, rinse anddiscard them. Do not place them in the recyclingcontainer.

    6. If the containers have visible stains or residue aftertriple rinsing, do not recycle them. Dispose ofthem in accordance with local regulations.

    7. If the rinsed container is plastic, slit it so it cannotbe used again and place it into your recyclingcollection container.

    Answers to some frequently asked questions aboutrecycling Kodak photochemical containers:

    Q. Does Kodak accept back the empty plastic or glassphotochemical containers?

    A. Kodak does not accept back the empty plastic orglass photochemical containers. Local recyclers arebest equipped to recycle these containers.

    APPENDIX BQ. What type of plastic are the containers made from?

    A. Most of the plastic Kodak photochemicalcontainers are manufactured from high densitypolyethylene, the Society of Plastics Industry (SPI)code number 2 or low-density polyethylene, SPIcode number 4. In addition, some Kodak plastic

    containers are made of other resins and are codednumber 7 to symbolize layered multi-materialplastics.

    Q. What is an SPI code and where will I find it?

    A. An SPI code is a way to identify what type ofplastic the container is made from. The numberwill be located on the bottom of the chemicalbottle, inside the chasing arrows (mobius loop).For Cubitainers, the SPI code will be located nearthe neck of the container.

    Q. What SPI code numbers will the recycler accept?A. You will need to contact your local recycler for the

    information on what recyclable plastics theyaccept. Each recycler may have different marketoutlets for the plastics which determine whatrecyclables they can collect.

    Q. How do I contact my local recycler?

    A. Call your local or state recycling coordinator,municipal waste collection agency, or your localwaste disposal company. If these agencies cannotassist you, you can call the American Plastics

    Council (APC) at 1-800-243-5790 for informationon plastic recyclers in your area.

    Q. What information will I have to provide to the recyclerwhen inquiring about recycling my containers?

    A. It would be helpful for the recycler if you provideda sample of the rinsed containers that you wouldlike to recycle; a count of how many containersyou generate per week, month, or year; theMaterial Safety Data Sheets for the photochemicalproduct that was sold in the original container;and a copy of this Appendix. You may be asked tosign a form stating you will make sure the

    containers have been properly rinsed before yousend them to the recycler.

    Environmental Guidelines for Amateur Photographers

    J-30010

    Q. Why do some local recyclers not accept the containers?

    A. Some recyclers may not understand the nature ofthe contents of the containers. Most Kodakphotographic chemicals are water soluble.Properly rinsed photochemical containers with novisible stains or residue are expected to pose no

    greater health concerns for customers or recyclersthan properly rinsed household chemicalcontainers. Some recyclers may only be able toprocess specific sizes of containers, types ofmaterials (plastic and glass), and colors of glass attheir facility. As a result, they may not be able toaccept every container that you would like torecycle.

    Q. Can I recycle the 30- and 55-gallon Kodak plastic drumsthat my photographic chemicals are shipped in?

    A. Yes, this is possible provided you have located a

    recycler of such drums in your area. However,these drums are part of the KODAK ReturnableDrum Program and can be sent to the Kodak-approved drum reconditioner, then back to Kodakfor reuse. If you need further information aboutthe KODAK Returnable Drum Program, callKodak at 1-800-242-2424.

    Q. Whom may I contact at Kodak for additionalinformation about the recycling of Kodak photochemicalcontainers?

    A. For additional information, you may contact theKodak Information Center at 1-800-242-2424,

    Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.(Eastern time).
