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 />
Practically no highly toxic waste is generated in this lab. Only benign organic dyes and other<br />
small amounts <strong>of</strong> analytical samples (<strong>for</strong> example, polyaromatic hydrocarbons). Typical bottles <strong>of</strong><br />
chemical waste (usually one or three one gallon jars collected over a period <strong>of</strong> 6 to 12 months) contain the<br />
following: methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, acetone, heptane, benzene, hexane, toluene, octane, and<br />
dyes, such as Rhodamine 590 and 61 and Keton red dye.<br />
