What is the correct method of disposing of wet electrodes?

The appropriate method for disposing of wet electrodes is to discard them. Wet electrodes can pose safety risks, including contamination and degradation of the electrodes' properties, which could lead to inaccurate readings or potential electrical hazards. Discarding them ensures that they do not cause harm to users, equipment, or the environment. This method also prevents the potential for reuse, which could lead to compromised data or equipment malfunctions.

Other methods, such as reusing after drying or storing in a sealed container, can lead to complications. Reusing wet electrodes might result in unreliable results due to moisture impacting the functionality, while sealing them in a container may not adequately address contamination issues. Returning to the supplier is typically not a viable option as suppliers generally have policies in place regarding defective or unused equipment rather than handling used consumables like electrodes.
