Proper Waste Disposal

1. 폐기물 관리
<ol><li>사용자는 폐기물을 최소한으로 유지하기 위해 노력해야 합니다. 이를 위한 가장 좋은 방법은 작업 규모를 줄여 폐기물 발생량을 최소화하는 것입니다. 가능하면 사용되는 화학 물질을 덜 유해 화학 물질로 대체해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>화학 적 수량은 최소한으로 유지해야합니다. 단기적으로 사용할 내용만 보관하십시오.</li>
	<li>폐기물 발생을 방지하거나 최소화하는 것 외에도 재사용을 위해 화학 물질을 재활용하거나 회수해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>폐기물이 발생하면 제대로 폐기해야 합니다. 싱크대 처리가 항상 적절하지 않을 수 있으며 식수 오염을 끝낼 수 있습니다. 소각, 처리 및 토지 처리를 포함하여 대체 처분 방법을 고려해야합니다. 연구소의 EHS 사무소는 다른 폐기물 유형에 대한 적절한 처리 방법을 결정하기 위해 협의해야합니다.</li>
</ol>2. 폐기물 수거 및 보관
<ol><li>화학물질 폐기물을 발생하거나 관리할 때는 적절한 개인 보호 장비(PPE)를 착용해야 하며 필요에 따라 엔지니어링 제어를 구현해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>지정된 위성 축적 구역에서 발생 지점 또는 그 근처에서 화학 폐기물을 수집하고 저장합니다. 이 축적 영역은 쉽게 식별할 수 있는 잘 표시되어야 합니다.</li>
	<li>화학 폐기물은 닫혀 있고 적절하게 장착된 캡이 있는 호환 용기에 보관해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>폐기물 용기는 화학 조성물, 축적 시작 날짜 및 위험 경고를 적절히 언급하는 레이블을 지정해야 합니다. 연구소의 EHS 사무실은 일반적으로 이러한 필요한 레이블을 제공합니다.</li>
	<li>호환되지 않는 폐기물 유형은 혼합해서는 안되며 반응, 열 발생 및/또는 가스 진화를 피하기 위해 별도로 유지되어야 합니다.</li>
	<li>폐기물 용기는 통풍, 시원하고 건조한 지역에 보조 용기에 보관해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>중앙 축적 지역에서는 화재 및 폭발 위험을 피하기 위해 폐기물 용기를 접지해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>생성된 폐기물에 가장 잘 익숙한 숙련된 실험실 연구원들은 EHS와 협력하여 적절한 폐기물 관리를 보장해야 합니다.</li>
</ol>3. 날카로운 처분 - 주사기와 바늘
<ol><li>화학적으로 오염된 바늘, 주사기 및 면도날은 적절한 날카로운 용기 안에 폐기해야 합니다.</li>
	<li>주사기 나 바늘은 실험실 쓰레기통 이나 일반 폐기물 용기에 폐기 해서는 안 됩니다.</li>
</ol>4. 유리 재활용
<ol><li>재활용 유리는 매립지에서 끝나는 폐기물로 인한 오염을 감소시키기 때문에 환경에 친숙합니다. 모든 실험실에는 유리 전용 별도의 재활용 쓰레기통이 있어야 합니다.</li>
	<li>깨끗한 빈 유리 병과 깨진 유리 제품이 재활용 될 수 있습니다. 빈 유리 병을 청소하려면 물 또는 다른 적합한 용매와 공기 건조로 "삼중 헹구기"해야합니다.</li>
	<li>시료 튜브, 드롭퍼 및 유리 울과 같은 화학적으로 오염된 실험실 유리 제품은 통제된 폐기물로 폐기해야 합니다.</li>
</ol>

lab waste management and safety

Lab waste management and safety are essential parts of any laboratory activity. Waste generated during work must be handled correctly from the moment it is created until it reaches its final offsite disposal facility. Poor waste disposal can seriously harm public health and the environment.

A waste management system should be planned before any lab work begins. This system guides how waste is collected, stored, and prepared for removal. For hazardous waste, special rules apply because its handling must be regulated throughout the entire process.

Students and lab users must also follow their institution’s Environmental Health and Safety, or EHS, office. The EHS office develops and carries out waste management systems that meet different rules and standards. These include requirements set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA.

Lab Waste Management and Safety

proper personal protective equipment

Choosing the Right Lab PPE

Choosing the right lab PPE is a key part of working safely in a laboratory. PPE, or personal protective equipment, helps reduce risk when hazards are present. Laboratory hazards can be many and varied. The right choice of PPE helps make the lab a safe place to work. Students should match their protective gear to the tasks and conditions in the lab. This topic focuses on selecting proper protection for the situation at hand. Wearing the correct PPE supports safer lab work and helps limit...

emergency eyewash and shower stations

Laboratory Chemical Spill Response Stations

Laboratory chemical spill response stations help protect people who are exposed to injurious or corrosive substances. In workplaces and school labs, OSHA requires emergency eyewash and shower stations to be easy to reach when these hazards are present. These stations are used after an accident that spills a harmful chemical on the body or splashes it into the eyes. The eyewash station helps rinse the eyes, while the shower station is used for chemicals on the skin or clothing. They are meant...

electrical safety

Preventing Lab Electric Shock and Fires

Electrical hazards are a common lab safety concern. Most laboratory equipment uses electricity to work, so students and lab staff must stay alert around cords, plugs, and powered devices. Improper use of electrical equipment can cause electric shock. In serious cases, this can lead to injury or death. Electrical sparks are also dangerous in the lab. They can start a fire or trigger an explosion. This risk matters because many flammable chemicals may be stored near powered instruments. Knowing...

working with centrifuges

Centrifuge Safety and Sample Separation

Centrifuges are used to separate heterogeneous mixtures by spinning particles in a fluid at high speed. The motion creates a force away from the axis of rotation. Heavier particles move faster toward the bottom of the sample holder, and the rate depends on particle size and density. This process is called centrifugation, and it speeds up sedimentation, which is the settling of particles out of a liquid. Gravity can separate some mixtures on its own, but that can take a long time.

working with hot and cold sources

Safe Use of Lab Heat and Cold Sources

Safe use of lab heat and cold sources is an important part of laboratory work. Extreme temperatures are common in many lab tasks. They can involve both high heat and very low temperatures. Bunsen burners and hot plates are widely used in research labs and industry. A Bunsen burner is a gas burner that gives a direct flame. A hot plate is an electric device that warms containers without an open flame. Because these tools reach high temperatures, users need to follow safe handling procedures. <br...

Safe Chemical Labels and Storage Basics

Safe chemical storage and labeling help prevent dangerous reactions in school and research labs. Chemicals can vary widely in their properties and reactivity, so they must be managed, stored, and labeled correctly as part of an Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) program. If chemicals are not handled properly, they can create harmful or even destructive results. These risks include toxic fume production, fire, explosion, human fatality, property damage, and environmental hazards. Proper...

safe handling of mineral acids

Mineral Acids in the Lab

Mineral acids are common chemicals in research laboratories, and they must be handled with care. These acids, also called inorganic acids, are water-soluble acids formed from inorganic minerals by chemical reaction. Their corrosive nature makes them a major safety risk in the lab. Examples of mineral acids include boric acid, chromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid. These acids are important reagents in research, and...

handling chemical spills

Chemical Spill Safety in the Lab

Chemical spill safety in the lab is essential whenever hazardous chemicals are used. Spills can happen at any time during laboratory work. Even a small spill can become dangerous if people are not prepared to respond quickly and correctly. Preparing for a chemical spill helps protect public health and the environment. Lab teams need to know how to respond to accidental releases of hazardous chemicals before an emergency happens. Safe cleanup also depends on proper disposal of the spilled...

proper use of autoclaves

Autoclaving Lab Materials Safely

Autoclaving lab materials safely is an important part of decontamination in the laboratory. This method is commonly used for items that have contacted biological samples, especially those that may contain microorganisms. An autoclave cleans materials with pressurized steam at a high temperature. The steam and heat work together to kill microorganisms on the loaded items. For this reason, effective autoclaving depends on good steam flow and strong heat transfer. Packaging matters because it...

fume hoods and laminar flow cabinets

Airflow Controls for Safer Lab Workspaces

Fume hoods and laminar flow cabinets are airflow controls used in laboratories. They both rely on a constant stream of air to protect the lab environment and the people in it. These systems work in similar ways, but they serve different purposes. A fume hood is a ventilation system that helps reduce exposure to hazardous vapors, fumes, and particles. Air is drawn into the hood opening, which helps keep harmful substances inside the workspace. The air is then pulled out through the exhaust. A...

handling-air-and-water-sensitive-chemicals-using-a-schlenk-line

Schlenk Line Setup for Inert Atmospheres

A Schlenk line helps chemists work with air- and water-sensitive chemicals. It provides an air-free way to handle reagents that can react with oxygen or moisture. This makes it useful in a chemical laboratory when careful control of the atmosphere is needed. The glass apparatus is commonly used because it can create an inert gas environment or a vacuum. Inert gases such as nitrogen and argon can be used to protect the reaction. The same setup can also expose glassware to vacuum when needed. A...

proper operation of vacuum based equipment

proper-operation-of-vacuum-based-equipment

Vacuum Pumps for Laboratory Procedures

Vacuum pumps are used in many laboratory procedures that need low pressure. They help create vacuum conditions for experiments and equipment that must run below normal atmospheric pressure. In the lab, vacuum pumps are the most common way to achieve this low-pressure environment. They can also support rapid changes in the atmosphere inside a reactor or flask. This is done by evacuating the vessel and then backfilling it with another gas.

operating the glovebox

Glovebox Atmosphere and Sample Transfer

A glovebox is an enclosed workspace that keeps an inert atmosphere inside. Scientists use built-in gloves to handle chemicals or equipment without exposing the inside of the box to outside air. The box uses positive pressure to help make up for small passive leaks. Objects can be moved in and out through an antechamber, which works like an airlock between the glovebox and the outside atmosphere. Some gloveboxes have more than one pair of gloves. The number of glove ports depends on the size...

operation of high-pressure reactor vessels

operation-of-high-pressure-reactor-vessels

Safe Use of Pressure Vessels in Chemistry

High-pressure reactor vessels are used in synthetic chemistry to handle gases safely during reactions. They help chemists carry out gas-based processes such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and amination. These reactions often use hydrogen, oxygen, or ammonia, which are important reagents in the lab. These gases usually dissolve poorly in standard reaction mixtures. Because of that, high pressure is needed to make the reaction proceed at a useful rate. The vessel creates a sealed space that keeps...

decontamination for laboratory biosafety

Lab Cleaning Methods for Biosafety

Laboratory cleaning methods are a key part of biosafety because microbial contamination can build up and spread disease. Decontamination is used to reduce that risk on lab surfaces and equipment. The level of cleaning depends on how much contamination is present and what kind of item needs treatment. Decontamination can be grouped into disinfection and sterilization. Disinfection removes pathogenic microorganisms, but it does not remove bacterial spores on lab surfaces or equipment.
