A perennial bestseller, this third edition includes individual entries for over 300 compounds. The extensive list of references has been updated and includes entries for 15 pesticides commonly used in greenhouses. Emphasis is placed on disposal methods that turn hazardous waste material into non-toxic products. These methods fall into several categories, including acid/base neutralization, oxidation or reduction, and precipitation of toxic ions as insoluble solids. The text also provides data on hazardous reactions of chemicals, assisting laboratory managers in developing a plan of action for emergencies such as the spill of any of the chemicals listed.

Physical, chemical, and physiological properties; hazardous reactions; and spill and waste disposal procedures - for more than 500 chemicals! Laboratory workers generate waste chemicals. Much progress has been made towards eleiminating the wastes at the source, but disposal of small quantities of a large variety of chemical wastes generated, for example, in university and research laboratories and hospital pharmacies can be difficult and expensive. This excellent handbook is filled with information for disposing of and managing more than 500 waste and surplus chemicals.

This volume updates and combines two National Academy Press bestsellers--Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories and Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemicals from Laboratories--which have served for more than a decade as leading sources of chemical safety guidelines for the laboratory. Developed by experts from academia and industry, with specialties in such areas as chemical sciences, pollution prevention, and laboratory safety, Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories provides step-by-step planning procedures for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. The volume explores the current culture of laboratory safety and provides an updated guide to federal regulations. Organized around a recommended workflow protocol for experiments, the book offers prudent practices designed to promote safety and it includes practical information on assessing hazards, managing chemicals, disposing of wastes, and more. Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories is essential reading for people working with laboratory chemicals: research chemists, technicians, safety officers, chemistry educators, and students.

The book describes practical procedures for the destruction of hazardous chemicals and biological agents in the laboratory in which they are used. The book is a continuation and expansion of “Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory.” It follows the same general approach as the first and second editions but includes a number of new chapters including one on using advanced oxidation techniques as a general means of degrading chemicals. All the monographs from the second edition are incorporated in this volume and are revised and extended as necessary. A number of new monographs describing procedures for the destruction of hazardous chemicals have also been added. The destruction of many pharmaceuticals is also described in this book. This subject has become of increasing importance with recent reports of the detection of pharmaceuticals in the water supply. Finally a new addition is the chapter “General Methods for the Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory.” This chapter describes recent advanced oxidation methods that should be generally applicable to all organic compounds. The methods use commonly available laboratory equipment and reagents.

Health hazard; Material that on very short exposure could cause death or major residual injury; Materiais that on short exposure could cause serious temporary or residual injury; MateriaIs that on intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury; Material that on exposure would cause irritation but only minor residual injury; Material that on exposure under tire conditions would offer no hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material; Flammability; Materiais that wiII rapidly or completely vaporize at atmospheric pressure and normal ambient temperature, or that are readily dispersed in air and that wiII burn readily; Liquids and solids that can be ignited under almost all ambient temperature conditions; Material that must be moderately heated or exposed to relatively high ambient temperatures before ignition can occur; Material that must be preheated before ignition can occur. Material that will not burn. Reacteactivity/Stablity; Material that in themselves are readily capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or reaction at normal temperatures and pressures; Material that in themselves are capable of detonation or explosive decomposition or reaction but require a strong initiating source or which must be heated under continement before initiation or which react explosively with water; Materiais that readily undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures or which react violently with water or which may form explosive mixtures with water; Materiais that in themselves are normally stable, but which can become unstable at elevated temperatures and pressures; Material that in themselves are normally stable, even under tire exposure conditions, and which are not reactive with water.

The U.S. Department of State charged the Academies with the task of producing a protocol for development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) that would serve as a complement to the Chemical Laboratory Safety and Security: A Guide to Prudent Chemical Management and be included with the other materials in the 2010 toolkit. To accomplish this task, a committee with experience and knowledge in good chemical safety and security practices in academic and industrial laboratories with awareness of international standards and regulations was formed. The hope is that this toolkit expansion product will enhance the use of the previous reference book and the accompanying toolkit, especially in developing countries where safety resources are scarce and experience of operators and end-users may be limited.
