title: A waste disposal program for a university art department.
abstract: With the introduction of hazardous waste regulations on May 19, 1980, many of the wastes generated and disposed of by university art departments are now considered hazardous wastes by law. Pollution Control, an operational department within Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, charged with the environmental compliance of the University, has developed a hazardous waste management program for the safe and proper disposal of these wastes. Wastes that can pose a threat not only to the artist, but also to the disposer of the wastes and the environment, are included in this program to prevent haphazard or indiscriminate disposal. Major functions of the program include identification of such wastes, collection, storage, treatment, and, finally, environmentally safe disposal of the waste.
