Re: disposal of chemicals list

What about silver waste from precipitation reactions? Classes are doing various precipitation reactions in spotting plates using silver nitrate, copper, barium and various other chemicals but they're only using a couple drops per spot plate.

Re: Labelling

It was a very large job, but we had a lady come in each Friday just to do the dropper bottles, she came for over 3 months, until every dropper bottle was done, then we got signed off from the CSIS, gosh must be 20 years ago now.

Re: sodium thiosulphate - and HCL

Do not think poor sink & water ways, remember unless you are a new school (Newly built) you have a pit or sump where it is pumped out at a later time. See Principal for plans of the school or General Assistant GA.
