Cytotoxic hazard symbol

The Cytotoxic hazard symbol is a hazard symbol consisting of a triangle with the letter "C" inside it. It is used to label biomedical waste bags and containers.

Cytotoxic waste, the by-product of cytotoxic drug therapy administered to patients (such as chemotherapy), typically includes all drug administrative equipment (e.g. needles, syringes, drip sets, etc.) as well as all gowns and body fluids/waste from patients undergoing such treatment.
