Isn it dangerous to mix containers of chemicals from different laboratories?
Of course we only mix compatible chemicals, so it’s not dangerous as long as what is written on the tag is really what is in the container! Before we pour the contents of a container into the drum, we pour it into a test bucket. Occasionally a solution will cause the mixture in the test bucket to smoke, but what is written on the tag should not react with what is in the bucket. This occurs because what is written on the tag is incorrect. We would like to thank all of you who accurately list the chemical constituents on the waste tag.Not only is UT legally liable for the waste we dispose of, but accurately listing the chemicals makes our job a lot safer.
