40 Low-Waste, Low-Risk Chemistry Labs

David Dougan

Suitable as a stand-alone text or curriculum supplement, this book outlines 40 standard lab experiments now restructured to use minimum quantities of the least hazardous, most easily disposable agents. Clear instructions and tips on procedures for the purchase, storage, use, and disposal of required chemicals make chemistry class safer. A mixture of micro and macro chemistry techniques provide variety and reflect current trends in research and industry. Most experiments can be performed in one 40-minute period. Softcover, 251 pages.
