SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR SAFE REMOVAL OF HIGHLY TOXIC WASTE<br />
Consult with your research advisor concerning proper methods <strong>for</strong> packaging and storing extremely<br />
hazardous waste. Research usually involves working with selective types or classes <strong>of</strong> chemicals. Prepare<br />
brief summaries in this section <strong>for</strong> handling spent chemicals peculiar to your lab.<br />
Room 17: General Activity - Synthetic Organic Chemistry. Room 17 contains flammable organic<br />
solvents, halogenated and non-halogenated, organic chemicals, concentrated acids, sodium metal,<br />
compressed gas cylinders, and silica gel. These materials are stored in labeled containers in an explosion<br />
pro<strong>of</strong> refrigerator, under various fume hoods and on shelving around the laboratory. Waste organic<br />
solvents and chemicals are separated as non-sulfur and non-halogen containing organic compounds and<br />
stored in labeled containers under a fume hood. Sulfur and halogen containing organic waste is placed in<br />
separate labeled containers. <strong>Use</strong>d silica gel is stored in a labeled plastic container in a fume hood. When<br />
full, these waste containers are transferred to the large waste containers in room # 20.<br />
