Abstract:

In recent years, the production of laboratory chemical waste has increased rapidly. The resulting safety risks and pollution costs are also increasing simultaneously, which has become a huge problem that plagues the development of colleges and universities. The lack of social disposal ability of laboratory chemical waste and the imperfection of relevant laws and regulations are the fundamental constraints to solve this problem. Based on the analysis of the current situation of laboratory chemical wastes and their treatment in domestic laboratories as well as the corresponding experience from the foreign laboratories, some consideration and suggestions for the treatment of the laboratory chemical wastes have been put forward.

Key words: Laboratory chemical waste, Laws and regulations, Disposal technology, Management system
