Abstract:

Several laws and management strategies related to chemical disposal in China were introduced. Houston University was employed as an example of American university to illustrate chemical disposal system including laws, institutions, management and responsibility in the United States. "3R" (Recycle, Reduce and Reuse) green chemistry rules were demonstrated using four student experiments published in Journal of Chemical Education, ACS in 2010 and 2011. Some management methods of Peking University were presented here to illustrate the disposition of chemical waste in domestic Chinese college laboratories.

Key words: University laboratory, Chemical waste, Safety management
