Summary "The extensive list of references has been updated and includes entries for 15 pesticides commonly used in greenhouses. For many entries, laundering instructions are included since it has been shown that normal washing procedures do not remove all of the pesticide residues from clothing material. The author emphasizes disposal methods that turn hazardous waste material into non-toxic products, such as: acid/base neutralization, oxidation or reduction, and the precipitation of toxic ions as insoluble solids. The Hazardous Laboratory chemicals Disposal Guide, Third Edition provides laboratory personnel with the chemical knowledge that is necessary to develop a plan of action for emergencies in the lab."
"Features: provides carefully tested disposal procedures for over 300 compounds; presents equations showing the products of the chemical transformations; highlights hazardous reactions and physiological and health hazards for each compound; contains entries for 15 pesticides commonly used in greenhouses; and includes procedures for the safe handling and disposal of spills."--BOOK JACKET
