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.

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.

Since 1981, a grant-funded research group at the U. of Alberta has been creating disposal procedures for a wide variety of chemicals. The procedures are designed to enable chemicals to be recycled or disposed of in-house, eliminating the need to incinerate them or take them to a landfill. Disposal methods for heavy metal salts, explosive chemicals such as picric acid, and toxic organic materials are included. The procedures developed are documented in a manner so that they can be reproducibly performed by persons with some training in chemistry. Plastic comb binding.

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.

This Manual provides a set of methods and approaches, and practical guidelines, on the safe handling and disposal of chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of different drugs. The Manual is aimed at all those, who are involved in, or confronted with the need for, the safe handling, transportation, storage and disposal of seized chemicals. The methods and approaches described reflect the breadth of circumstances under which illicit drug manufacture occurs worldwide, ranging from recycling to disposal at the site of seizure, for example, at a clandestine laboratory site.
