Deciding what to keep: The battle over chemical inventories in secondary school laboratories

In an effort to provide guidance to secondary school educators and administrators regarding chemical inventories, the American Chemical Society's Committee on Chemical Safety (CCS) formulated a series of recommendations with examples. These recommendations were adopted into the document titled, Reducing Risks to Students and Educators from Hazardous Chemicals in a Secondary School Chemical Inventory. The document is available on the CCS website (http://membership.acs.org/C/CCS/, accessed 13 February 2009.).
