Committee on Hazardous Substances in the Laboratory, Mathematics Commission on Physical Sciences, and Resources,, and National Research Council. 1983. Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemicals from Laboratories. Washington DC: National Academy Press

When the EPA RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) became effective in November 1980, the NRC requested that the Committee on Hazardous Substances in the Laboratory reconvene to "deal with the subject [of laboratory safety] in greater detail, by assessing the impact of the EPA RCRA regulations on laboratories, by developing guidelines for laboratories in the disposal of chemicals, and by recommending changes in laboratory procedures and in regulations that would simplify the disposal of chemicals from laboratories in ways that would be safe and environmentally acceptable." (Preface.) This is the resultant report.

"This volume updates and combines two National Academy Press bestsellers--Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories (1980) and Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemicals from Laboratories (1983)--which have served for more than a decade as leading sources of chemical safety guidelines for the laboratory.
Developed by experts from academia and industry, with specialties in such areas as chemical sciences, pollution prevention, and laboratory safety, Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories provides step-by-step planning procedures for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. The volume explores the current culture of laboratory safety and provides an updated guide to federal regulations. Organized around a recommended workflow protocol for experiments, the book offers prudent practices designed to promote safety and it includes practical information on assessing hazards, managing chemicals, disposing of wastes, and more.
Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories is essential reading for people working with laboratory chemicals: research chemists, technicians, safety officers, chemistry educators, and students." (from NAP website)
