Book Description

January 16, 1996 0873719751 978-0873719759 1
This nuts and bolts book addresses specific waste minimization and pollution prevention techniques that work in specific types of laboratories for specific wastestreams. Concepts in the book may be directly applied to laboratory operations. In addition, the book illustrates other approaches to laboratory pollution prevention, such as reducing wastewater discharges and fume hood emissions. A wide range of waste types, including hazardous, infectious, medical, PCB, and radioactive, are discussed.
This book helps you to develop a broad, institutional framework to plan and set priorities for pollution prevention. It responds to your laboratory's critical need to have readily available techniques and concepts for waste minimization and pollution prevention.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a starting point in waste minimization in laboratories.
--Chemical Health & Safety

Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization in Laboratories is the only book devoted to this subject...it is the current bible.
--Laboratory Safety & Environmental Management

A thorough guide for laboratory directors interested in incorporating pollution prevention practices in laboratory waste management procedures.
--Profile and Management Options for EPA Laboratory Generated Mixed Waste, USEPA 1996

I found this book to be one of the most informative and practical that I have read on the subject of waste minimization... This book will make an excellent resource for those practicing in the area of laboratory waste management or general laboratory safety and health.
-AIHA Journal
