Hello everyone,
I'm planning to develop cancer model using CCl4, i have been search to disposal and detoxified method to handling tools, waste, and animal used for this research. But, unfortunately I don't really find that I looks for to detoxified tools and animal handling care. The dispose and detoxified method from literature, MSDS, and some goverment procedure I got was not mentioned how to detoxified CCl4, It just mentioned to use absorbant for any spill of CCl4. For animal I suggested it need to treat like hazardous waste for 24 hours after injection of CCl4.
Does anyone can share experience for handing the animal waste that using CCl4? and how to detoxified tools that have been use/contact with CCl4? or it just can use large amount of soap water to rinse the tools?
thankyou for everyone that have been answer

Disposal of animal waste using CCl4?’
The carbon tetrachloride content of animal tissues is so low that there are no specific disposal and detoxification methods. Besides, tetrachloromethane is metabolised in animal organism....
