7、3.2 Notes:3.2.1 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Site Over3000 collection programs have been undertaken in the UnitedStates. Check with the local chamber of commerce, county, orstate environmental or solid waste agency to see if there is ahousehold hazardous waste collection program in your area
8、.These collection sites typically have no fees or charges for useby local non-commercial waste generators.4. Summary of Guide4.1 This guide establishes recommendations for the envi-ronmentally responsible clean up and disposal of waste pro-duced by users of artists paint products and solvents.4.2 Se
9、veral pigments listed in Specification D4302 forinclusion in artists oil, resin-oil, and alkyd, SpecificationD5067 for artists watercolor paints, and Specification D5098for artists acrylic dispersion paints are materials that theUnited States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) consid-ers hazardou
10、s waste when disposed of or released to theenvironment due to toxic pigment used in some paints. Thesetoxic pigments are capable of groundwater contamination.4.3 The solvents used with the artists paints may also behazardous waste when disposed of or released to the environ-ment due to their flammab
11、ility and toxicity. The addition of ahazardous pigment to an organic solvent or water may makethe mixture also hazardous to the environment. Evaporation ofthese organic solvents also harms human health and theenvironment.4.4 These hazardous materials should be managed andstored carefully to prevent
12、exposure to the user and disposed ofin a responsible manner to prevent harm to the environmentsuch as by taking them to a household hazardous wastecollection site.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide establishes recommendations for the envi-ronmentally responsible clean up and disposal of waste pro
13、-duced by users of artists paint products and solvents. It doesnot supersede laws or regulations, but recommends prudentpractices.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paint andRelated Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.

Artists who are in business or in otherc
16、ommercial or educational settings will usually be required tomeet specific regulatory requirements.6. Procedure6.1 For artistspaint which use other than water as a solvent,including organic solvents, linseed oil, or vegetable oil, thefollowing procedures are appropriate for brush cleaning whenusing
17、these paints:6.1.1 Rinse brushes in a small (less than 8 oz), closablecontainer of the appropriate solvent, such as mineral spirits.Label collection containers of hazardous waste properly. La-bels should include the words “Hazardous Waste,” identify thecontents, that is, “mineral spirits” and state
18、all hazards posedby the collected waste (for example, flammability, corrosivity,etc.).6.1.2 Wipe brushes of all paint and solvent residue on a ragor paper towel.6.1.3 Rinse brushes of remaining paint and solvent residuein ordinary vegetable oil. Wipe brushes on a rag or paper towel.6.1.4 Rags and pa
19、per towels should be collected. Rags orpaper towels contaminated with vegetable drying oils, particu-larly those containing iron oxide pigments are susceptible tospontaneous combustion. Proper handling and disposal of ragsand paper towels is covered in 6.1.6.6.1.5 When the solvent is too saturated t
20、o effectively cleanbrushes, pour it and any paint pigment into a labeled collectioncontainer. The collection container should be appropriate forflammable liquids (fire safety can) and remain tightly closedexcept when adding material. Transferring solvents should bedone in a well-ventilated area and
21、grounding and bondingprocedures should be practiced.6.1.5.1 This waste material should be disposed of through alocal household hazardous waste collection site. Never releasethe material into the environment and do not evaporate thesolvent as this can lead to exposure to the solvent and possiblycause
22、 adverse health effects and harm the environment.6.1.5.2 Take precautions to prevent accidental ignition orreaction of ignitable or reactive wastes. Do not store flammableliquids near a flame or heat source.a) Keep all collection containers closed, unless material isbeing added. Handle all container
23、s carefully to prevent ruptureor leakage. Properly label collection containers of hazardouswaste. Labels should include the words “Hazardous Waste,”identify the contents, that is, “mineral spirits and paint possiblycontaining cadmium, barium, lead, chromium, cyanide, sele-nium, and mercury” and stat
24、e any hazards, such as “flam-mable.” This will allow the material to be easily identified forappropriate disposal method or proper response in case of aspill.6.1.6 Used rags or paper towels that contain solvents orpigment should be collected in closeable, airtight container.The possibility of sponta
25、neous combustion exists with thismaterial, so air must be kept out of the container. A firesafety-can should be considered for a collection container.Label the collection container with the words “HazardousWaste,” contents of the container, that is, “mineral spirits andpaint possibly containing cadm
26、ium, barium, lead, chromium,cyanide, selenium, and mercury” and an appropriate hazardwarning, such as “flammable.”6.1.7 Collected rags and towels wastes with solvent orpigment should be disposed of through a local householdhazardous waste collection site.6.2 For artists paints which use water as a s
27、olvent:6.2.1 Wipe brushes of all paint on a rag or paper towel, thenrinse brushes in small container of water (used for colorchanges and thinning). Wipe brushes of remaining paint on arag or paper towel.6.2.2 For final cleaning use three larger containers of water(1 quart to 5 gallon); the first con
28、tainer, ContainerA, first wash,soapy water, Container B, first rinse water, and Container C,final rinse water. Container size will depend on the number ofpersons using them and frequency of use. For a privateindividual, one-quart containers may be adequate, whereasfive-gallon buckets may be appropri
29、ate for larger groups ofpeople.6.2.3 For brush cleaning wash with the soapy water inContainer A. Rinse well in clean water in Container B. Finally,rinse in clean water Container C.6.2.4 When rinse water becomes too dirty to effectivelyclean, discard small container of water into Container A.6.2.5 Di
30、sposal and changing of the final cleaning contain-ers: Container As contents will be poured into a collectioncontainer. Container Bs contents will be poured into ContainerA and soap added. Container Cs content will be poured intoContainer B and Container C will have clean water added to it.6.2.6 It
31、is an acceptable practice to evaporate the water fromthe pigment residue, reducing the volume of waste. The solidpigment residue waste should be disposed of through ahousehold hazardous waste collection site. In many areas thelocal authority may allow the water and pigment to be disposedof into the
32、sink drain. Contact your local water/sewer authorityor health department for more information. While this may belawful, the environment will be better served if these materialsare not released into the environment. The solution of waterand paint pigment may be disposed of through a householdhazardou
33、s waste collection site.6.3 Used rags or paper towels that contain pigment shouldbe collected in closeable, airtight container for disposal. Labelthe containers “Hazardous Waste,” list contents, “waste ragswith paint possibly containing cadmium, barium, lead, chro-mium, cyanide, selenium, and mercur
34、y.” Keep container closedunless adding material to the container. This material may bedisposed of through a local household hazardous waste collec-tion site.6.4 When discarding of canvases, palettes or other materialswith residual pigments, use a container large enough to holdthe material and still
35、be closed or sealed. Label the containerdescribing the hazardous contents, such as, “solid waste withpaint possibly containing cadmium, barium, lead, chromium,cyanide, selenium, and mercury.” Dispose of the waste througha household hazardous waste collection site.7.
