Practical Approaches to Laboratory Waste Management Cosponsored by the ACS Task Force on Laboratory Waste Management If you are a safety or environmental manager, a laboratory research supervisor, or a bench scientist working in a chemical research lab, you have probably asked some of these questions at some time during your work: / H o w do I select the proper method of waste disposal? / Can I p o u r this waste d o w n the drain and into the municipal sewer system? / H o w do waste regulations apply to m e and m y laboratory? / Are there techniques I can use to minimize the amount of waste I have to dispose of? / When can I use on-site treatment of wastes? / H o w do I design and implement a comprehensive waste management program? / Are there waste accumulation techniques I can use in m y laboratory? These questions and more are answered in this up-to-the-minute review of Practical Approaches to Laboratory Waste Management. The information presented in this seminar enables supervisors, managers, and bench scientists to determine h o w to reduce the quantity of wastes generated, to maintain regulatory compliance, and to save disposal costs. It's a must for anyone w h o manages or works in a research laboratory that generates hazardous chemical wastes—in industry or academia.
