Chemicals


For over thirty years UCSB has made great progress in hazardous waste disposal and minimization, microchemistry in the classroom, and hazard protection. This website cannot begin to list all the best practices when using chemicals. Every laboratory using reagents on a regular basis needs a good text or manual on chemical management or minimizing, such as "Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization in Laboratories, 1995. Reinhardt, et al. CRC Press." See also EH&S guidelines for waste minimizing.
