[Histonet] dumping formalin

Hi Margaret,
You are right you can take the girl from Boston but not Boston out of
the girl. Not to be picky...Bostonian...or has it been changed :0
 My entire family is there and I go visit every summer.

Betsy,

Nice to hear from a (former)Bostonite.  Although, if you are from
Boston, you
are always from Boston!  You are right:  the city did spend a lot of
money
cleaning up the harbor and all that feeds into it.  MGH is right on the
Charles
River and I'm sure I don't have to tell you how disgusting that was!
When I
first moved here in 1968 (oops, dating myself!), I went sailing with
friends on
the Charles (Community Boating).  We capsized and it's a wonder we all
did not
come down with typhoid!

We collect ours and the Hazardous Waste Dept of the hospital collects
it. Now what they do with it I have no idea. We collect all our waste,
fixatives, stains etc. I know of at least 2 facilities in Houston that
pour theirs down the drain. 

I am from Boston I was so  pleased to read the steps they have taken.
They city spent a lot of money cleaning up the harbor.
