Chemical Waste Disposal


 

Pollution Prevention Goals for 2009-2010

  • Encourage laboratories with high volume organic solvent usage to replace thermal distillation systems with waste minimizing, utility conserving, intrinsically safe dry column purification system.
  • Conduct formal pollution prevention opportunity assessments in the lab and facilities groups producing the largest volumes of waste.
  • Facilitate switch to returnable lecture bottles.
  • Find a way to cover or remove unneeded cup sinks.
  • Encourage "just-in-time" chemical purchases within lab groups.
