What are the important steps needed to be taken towards safe disposal of chemical by products resulted from a research laboratory so as to reduce environmental pollution ?
Is there any policy/ program concerned with this problem?
You need to know the environmental regulations applicable to solid/hazardous waste disposal for your location. In addition, determine whether the chemical byproducts can be readily disposed via existing waste disposal companies. Chemical properties of the waste that need to be determined include toxicity, pH, flash point, heavy metals, infectious agents, etc.
