| Abstract | This report presents waste management and minimization methods for hazardous wastes generated in clinical, research, and academic laboratories. Techniques for specific materials are given including management of solvent wastes, recovery of mercury and silver, and process modifications to decrease uses of hazardous materials. Volume reduction technologies such as neutralization, precipitation, and inactivation are discussed as methods which can be used to manage laboratory wastes. Facility auditing, including use of a facility audit data base, is discussed as a waste management tool. |
