option.14.2 Quantity of the chemicals purchased should be based on expected usage during itsshelf-life and disposal cost of unused material. Actual reagent preparation volumesshould reflect anticipated usage and reagent stability.14.3 For information about pollution prevention that may be applicable to laboratories andresearch institutions, consult "Less is Better: Laboratory Chemical Management forWaste Reduction," available from the American Chemical Society's Department ofGovernment Regulations and Science Policy, 1155 16th Street N.W., Washington D.C.20036, (202) 872-4477.15. WASTE MANAGEMENT15.1 The Environmental Protection Agency requires that laboratory waste managementpractices be conducted consistent with all applicable rules and regulations. Excessreagents, samples and method process wastes should be characterized and disposed ofin an acceptable manner. The Agency urges laboratories to protect the air, water, andland by minimizing and controlling all releases from hoods and bench operations,complying with the letter and spirit of any waste discharge permit and regulations, andby complying with all solid and hazardous waste regulations, particularly the hazardouswaste identification rules and land disposal restrictions. For further information onwaste management consult the "Waste Management Manual for Laboratory Personnel,"available from the American Chemical Society at the address listed in Section 14.3.16.
