and Disposal of Chemicals of, the disposal cost per container is
less for smaller containers. Later in this chapter (section
4.D.2), the exchange or transfer of chemicals to other
laboratory workers is discussed. The use of smaller containers
increases the chance that chemicals to be transferred will still
be in sealed containers, which increases the receiver's
confidence that the chemicals are pure. 4.B.2Strategies to
Minimize Hazardous Waste Generation Experimental design and
execution are central in strategies to minimize the generation
of hazardous waste, just as they were in the section above. The
design should evaluate all potential sources of hazardous waste
expected from the proposed experiment and incorporate strategies
to minimize those sources. Examples of
