Rehab the Kansas Lab

Overview Kansas high school clean sweep program Community college chemical clean sweep program PPI rehab the Kansas lab program and assistance for community colleges

High School Lab Sweep Program Agreement form Chemical inventory KDHE review School segregates chemicals KDHE collects solid waste State contractor collects hazardous waste

School Lab Sweep Program 245 schools 17,300 containers hazardous waste Approximately 23,000 lbs Program completion soon

College Lab Sweep Program Agreement form Chemical inventory PPI and KDHE review School segregates chemicals College packages and dispose solid waste State contractor collects hazardous waste

Rehab the Lab Kansas Style K-State Pollution Prevention Institute EPA Region 7 P2 grant College science laboratories PBT focus – mercury Case studies fact sheet – www.sbeap.org/ppi/publications/Rehab_KS_lab.pdf KDHE clean out funds

Rehab the Kansas Lab-PPI role Assist Kansas college science laboratories with identification, reduction, and elimination of PBTs and high-risk chemicals.

Rehab the Kansas Lab-PPI role Assist with multi-media compliance with environmental regulations Compliance and P2 checklist www.sbeap.org/ppi/publications/Campus_Checklist.pdf

Rehab the Kansas Lab Identification – sources used PBTs (chemicals & Hg-containing devices) www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/ minimize/chemlist.htm High-risk chemicals www.govlink.org/hazwaste/publications/ highrisktable.pdf http://cheminfonet.org/high.htm

Rehab the Kansas Lab Reduction Help prioritize which chemicals to rid first, if can’t afford to do all at once Help with determining disposal method Provide micro-chemistry resources Quantify amounts reduced

Rehab the Kansas Lab Elimination Encourage complete elimination of: mercury and mercury compounds mercury-containing devices other PBTs high-risk chemicals Provide green-chemistry resources Discuss future purchasing procedures Quantify amounts eliminated

Rehab the Lab – PPI role Also offering On-site assessments Teleconferences Rehab the Lab Common environmental compliance issues Green chemistry E-mail “list serve” Explain each bullet

Rehab the Kansas Lab PPI results so far On-site visits to eight colleges Inventories from four colleges Total mercury identified = 194 lbs Total PBTs identified = 406 lbs Total high-risk chemicals = 2521 lbs
