The hazardous waste in Mexico is generated from a wide range of activities, such as automotive workshops, this type of generators produces spent oils, filters, paint packs and different types of solids impregnated with fats, oils and solvents, all these With dangerous characteristics, the mismanagement of hazardous waste leads to environmental and health risks in humans and wildlife, so they require storage, transport and final disposal in a safe manner. A study was carried out in the mechanical workshops of the city of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, with the purpose of analyzing the handling of hazardous waste, especially used oils and solids impregnated with fats and oils. As evaluation instruments, a survey and a checklist were applied based on the specifications indicated in the Mexican environmental legislation on waste. 43% of the workshops do not have a temporary warehouse, 39% are not registered with the authority as generators of hazardous waste, 43% generate more than 100 kg of hazardous waste per month and 19% of these waste are spent oils. It was concluded that not all workshops work under the guidelines of the Mexican environmental legislation on waste, for which reason a more exhaustive vigilance is recommended by the competent authorities in the matter.

A study was carried out in the mechanical workshops of the city of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, with the purpose of analyzing the handling of hazardous waste, especially used oils and solids impregnated with fats and oils.

Abstract: (spanish)
Los residuos peligrosos en México, son generados a partir de una amplia gama de actividades por ejemplo los talleres automotrices, este tipo de generadores producen aceites gastados, filtros, envases de pinturas y distintos tipos de solidos impregnados con grasas, aceites y solventes, todos estos con características peligrosas, el mal manejo de los residuos peligrosos conllevan a riesgos ambientales y de salud en los seres humanos y vida silvestre, por lo que requieren un almacenamiento, trasporte y disposición final de una manera segura. Se realizó un estudio en los talleres mecánicos de la ciudad de Los Mochis, Sinaloa, con la finalidad de analizar el manejo de residuos peligrosos, en especial de aceites usados y sólidos impregnados con grasas y aceites. Como instrumentos de evaluación, se aplicó una encuesta y una lista de verificación formuladas en base a las especificaciones señaladas en la legislación ambiental mexicana en materia de residuos. El 43% de los talleres no cuenta con un almacén temporal, el 39% no está registrados ante la autoridad como generadores de residuos peligrosos, 43% genera más 100 kg de residuos peligrosos al mes y el 19% de estos residuos son aceites gastados. Se concluyó que no todos los talleres trabajan bajo los lineamientos de la legislación ambiental mexicana en materia de residuos, por lo que se recomienda una vigilancia más exhaustiva por parte de las autoridades competentes en la materia.
