Chemistry/Chemical Storage and Disposal
From WikiEducator
Notes: "CODE" refers to the storage code for each chemical:
- G = GREY = general storage
- B = BLUE = toxic
- Y = YELLOW = oxidizing agents and reactive substances
- R = RED = flammable or highly reactive with water
- W = special storage (for example acids)
- CG = compressed gases
- Ind = keep on Indicators shelf (assumed to be part of GREY storage)
- "DISP" refers to Flinn Scientific disposal codes (see below). Each school is required to have and keep
- the Flinn Scientific catalog to be able to reference the safety materials & disposal information.
- NOTE: "vent, 26a" means "vent the gas in a fume hood"
- The disposal methods are listed at the end of the main table. Consult the Flinn Scientific
- catalog for details (All secondary schools are required to have one.)
- the Flinn Scientific catalog to be able to reference the safety materials & disposal information.
