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."
