I. Introduction The University of New Hampshire (UNH) is a research institution committed to providing a high quality education, serving the public good, and promoting environmental stewardship and sustainability. UNH is well recognized for its environmental compliance efforts and development of their UNH Chemical Environmental Management System (UNHCEMS™) to catalog and manage hazardous chemicals throughout the campus. Reducing the quantity and toxicity of hazardous materials in order to protect human health, safety, and the environment is a part of the UNH mission and institutional identity. The Hazardous Materials Management Plan described here, provides information, guidelines, and UNH procedures for the purchasing, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials throughout the campus. The Hazardous Materials Management Plan describes ways to reduce, minimize, and/or eliminate the quantity and toxicity of hazardous materials that are used, stored, or disposed. The Hazardous Materials Management Plan will help UNH maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, increase consistency with the use and implementation of UNHCEMS™, and provide an opportunity for recognizing innovation for hazardous materials management and minimization. There are several other UNH environmental, health, and safety programs related to the use, management, and disposal of hazardous materials. Some of these include the Hazardous Waste Management Plan, Universal Waste Management Plan, Radiation Protection Plan, and Laboratory Safety Plan. These plans provide specific guidance on waste disposal and laboratory safety to maintain compliance with applicable state and federal health, safety, and environmental regulations. A “hazardous material,” for the purposes of this plan and as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is any physical, biological, or chemical item that has the potential to cause harm to living organisms or the environment. Many of the academic, research, and facility support departments throughout UNH use hazardous materials and therefore generate a wide variety of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.

II. Regulatory Authority and Related Programs Hazardous materials are defined and regulated in the United States primarily by laws and regulations administered by the USEPA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In addition, the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials are within the jurisdiction of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) and are regulated by community right-to-know laws, building and fire codes, and emergency preparedness requirements. The University System of New Hampshire also has a policy on Environmental Health and Safety (USY.VI.F.3). The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gives EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from manufacture to final disposal. This includes the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also sets forth a framework for the management of non-hazardous solid wastes. The UNH Durham campus is classified as a large quantity generator of RCRA hazardous waste by the USEPA. The UNH Manchester campus and Jackson Estuarine Laboratory are classified as small quantity RCRA generators.


III.

IV. Hazardous Material Determination

This section presents terminology used to classify the type and degree of hazard associated with certain materials used at UNH. Definitions presented herein are primarily taken from the publication “Terms of Environment: Glossary Abbreviations and Acronyms” (EPA# 175-B-97-001, Revised December 1997). Official determination of the definitions presented may be found in laws and related regulations published in the federal register, state and local laws, and scientific/technical documents. Specific information for a hazardous material may typically be obtained from a MSDS (refer to Section VI-A). Contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for additional information or assistance with the determination of hazardous materials. A. General Hazardous Materials Definitions

Nearly all chemicals, including many common household cleaners and paints, are considered “hazardous.” A hazardous material is a material that, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical or chemical characteristics, may pose a physical, environmental, or health risk. Examples include chemicals that are toxic, corrosive, flammable, highly reactive, explosive, and/or emit ionizing radiation. Some common terms used when describing hazardous materials include: • Chemicals of Interest: A list of chemicals and their corresponding screening threshold

quantities developed by the DHS (Appendix C). Institutions, including colleges and universities that possess a chemical of interest at or above a regulatory screening threshold quantity must complete and submit a consequence analysis (i.e., Top-Screen) to the DHS as part of the Federal Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards.

• Hazard: A chemical, biological, radioactive, or physical agent, which may cause an adverse effect on the human body. Hazards may be acute, toxic, or chronic.

• Acutely Toxic: A material that has the potential to produce a lethal dose or lethal concentration to living tissues under certain conditions. Refer to Appendix D for a sample list of acutely toxic chemicals.

• Toxic: Materials that may present an unreasonable risk of injury to the health of living things or the environment.

• Toxin: A chemical agent that adversely affects the human body. These may include hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins, and reproductive toxins. Examples of


chemical toxins include dibromochloropropane, halogenated hydrocarbons, mercury, lead, and carbon tetrachloride.

• Carcinogen: An agent capable of causing cancer. Refer to Appendix D for a sample list of laboratory carcinogens.

• Irritant: A chemical, which is not corrosive, but which causes a reversible inflammatory effect on living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact.

• P-Listed (Acute) Hazardous Waste: The USEPA has designated certain chemical wastes as “acutely hazardous” and placed special restrictions on their accumulation and disposal. When these chemicals become a waste, both the residual chemical and the empty containers must be disposed of as an “acute” P-Listed hazardous waste. There are hundreds of P-Listed wastes and they are identified 40 CFR 261.33 (see list in Appendix E). Generators with acutely hazardous waste are subject to different accumulation limits for those wastes. Additional information can be found in the Hazardous Waste Management Plan.

• Sensitizer: A chemical that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical.

• Shock-Sensitive: Materials that may undergo sudden explosion with movement, friction, or heat. The label and MSDS will indicate if a chemical is shock-sensitive. Some chemicals become more shock-sensitive with age. Unless the manufacturer has added an inhibitor, most shock-sensitive materials should be disposed within a year.

• Tier II Reportable Chemical: A hazardous chemical present in quantities equal to or greater than established threshold amounts outlined Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (Section 312, Public Law 99-499, 42 U.S.C. Section 11022). A hazardous chemical under Title III includes those substances for which an MSDS must be maintained under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard.

B. Classes/Types of Hazardous Materials There are many different types of hazardous materials used at UNH. A hazardous material can be a liquid, solid, or gas and may exhibit one or more potentially dangerous physical or chemical properties. The following types of hazardous materials are those most often encountered at UNH: • Corrosive Liquids/Solids: Materials that cause visible destruction of, or irreversible

alterations in, living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact. The USEPA definition of a corrosive liquid (listed under 40 CFR 261.22) is an aqueous substance that has a pH less than or equal to 2 standard units (SU) or greater than or equal to 12.5 SU. Corrosive chemicals include strong acids and bases, dehydrating agents, nonmetal chlorides, and halogens. Refer to Appendix D for an additional list of common laboratory corrosives.

• Oxidizers: A material, which is not necessarily combustible, but can readily undergo an oxidation or reduction reaction that may contribute to the combustion of other materials (i.e., they may become catalysts for fire hazards). Common examples of oxidizing agents at UNH include hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid. Within this same classification are peroxidizable compounds which are materials that can form explosive peroxide crystals when exposed to moisture or air. Common peroxidizables include ether, ethyl and diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane. Refer to Appendix D for an additional list of common laboratory oxidizers.


• Flammable/Combustible Liquids: Materials that may easily burn and are classified or grouped as either flammable or combustible by their flashpoints. Flammable liquids will ignite (i.e., catch on fire) and burn easily at normal working temperatures (e.g., flashpoint below 140 degrees F). Combustible liquids have the ability to burn at temperatures that are usually above working temperatures (e.g., flashpoint between 141 and 200 degrees F). Common flammable liquids at UNH include acetone, isopropanol, and ethanol.

• Flammable/Combustible Solids: A material that may ignite or explode under normal conditions. Examples include sulfur, activated carbon, phosphorus, magnesium, and oily rags.

• Compressed Gas: Liquefied, non-liquefied, and dissolved gases or mixtures of gases stored under high pressures. Hazardous gases include flammable, nonflammable, oxidizing, reactive, as well as poisonous gases. Examples of compressed gases include helium, argon, hydrogen, acetylene, propane, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and anhydrous ammonia.

• Radioactives: Materials that emit ionizing radiation. Refer to the Radiation Protection Program for additional information on radioisotopes and the handling, storage, and disposal of these materials.

• Explosives: Materials that contain stored energy that can produce an explosion and must be handled with extreme caution. Explosives should never be shaken or dropped and should be kept away from open flames. Examples include acetylene, trinitrobenzene, azides, and perchlorates of heavy metals.

• Toxic Materials: This category includes chemicals with inhalation hazards, poisons, and infectious substances. Swallowing, bodily contact, or inhalation of gases released by toxic substances may cause irritation of skin and mucous membranes, or in more severe cases, serious illness. Some examples include lead, mercury, acetone, and formaldehyde.

• Organic Liquids/Solids: Animal, plant-produced, or synthetic substances containing mainly carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen which may be solid or aqueous. Examples of organic liquids include benzene, toluene, and xylene compounds such as paint thinners.

• Inorganic Liquids/Solids: Materials of mineral origin and which typically do not have a carbon structure. Examples include hydrogen peroxide, sodium sulfide, and silver nitrate.

C. Characteristics of Hazardous Materials

Hazardous materials may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: • Ignitability: A material’s ability to ignite. • Corrosivity: The ability for a material to destroy metal. Examples include substances

that are highly acidic or basic. • Reactivity: The ability of a chemical to create explosions and/or toxic fumes, gases, and

vapors when mixed with water or other materials. • Toxicity: The measure of the adverse effect exerted on the human body by a poisonous

material. • Ecotoxicity: The potential to cause biological, chemical, or physical stressors when

released to an ecosystem. • Volatility: The measure of a material’s ability to vaporize. • Radioactivity: The measure of particle emission due to nuclear instability. • Chemical Instability: The inability of a substance to be handled and stored without

undergoing unwanted chemical changes.


• Shock-Sensitive: Materials that may explode when subjected to shock or friction. Common shock-sensitive chemicals are listed in Appendix D.

• Incompatibles: Materials that react dangerously when mixed with certain other materials. A table of chemical compatibility is included in Appendix F.

• Water Reactive: The ability for a chemical to react with water to produce a flammable or toxic gas or other hazardous conditions. Examples of water reactive chemicals include alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, acid anhydrides, and acid chlorides.

• Light-Sensitive: The ability for a material to degrade in the presence of light, often forming new compounds which may be hazardous, or resulting in conditions such as pressure build-up inside a container which may be hazardous. Examples of light sensitive materials include chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, ketones and anhydrides.

• Pyrophoric: Materials that may ignite spontaneously upon contact with air. Examples of pyrophoric materials are silicon tetrachloride, and white (also called yellow) phosphorus.

V. Hazardous Materials Purchasing

The rationale for having a Hazardous Materials Purchasing Policy is to improve the cataloging of hazardous materials being ordered and brought to UNH and help to reduce the overall quantity and/or toxicity of chemicals on campus. The American Chemical Society (ACS) urges people who work with chemicals to adopt the motto, “Less is Better.” When purchasing hazardous materials, individuals must consider not only the quality and cost of purchases, but also the social and environmental factors related to purchases. The purchase, use, storage, and disposal of a hazardous material may present many challenges for UNH including health and safety risks, operational and disposal costs, and increased potential for regulatory penalties. Each carefully made purchase will help UNH provide a safer work environment, promote a more sustainable campus environment, and reduce overall costs associate with maintaining compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations. It is important that each individual purchasing hazardous materials understands and accepts responsibility for the purchases by:

1) becoming familiar with prohibited and restricted purchases; 2) reviewing the list of materials available at no cost that are listed in UNHCEMS™; 3) researching alternatives; 4) correctly tracking purchases and avoiding unnecessary purchases (i.e., excessive volumes);

and, 5) properly managing the materials after they are on-campus.

A. Purchasing Policy

Chemical purchases should only be made by Hazardous Materials Management Plan trained personnel. This will help ensure compliance with the procedures outlined in this program and assist UNH in meeting the objectives of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan. The purchaser should review the list of special handling requirements, restricted storage quantities, and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety notification requirements for the specific hazardous material. In general, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety must receive notification at the time of purchase for any hazardous material that is classified as acutely toxic or explosive (see Appendix D). The Office of Environmental Health and Safety should also be notified if a hazardous material has an anticipated extreme cost of


disposal, if an acute waste will be generated, or if hazardous material creation (e.g., synthesis) is anticipated. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety has implemented several programs for targeted chemical reduction including mercury replacement and peroxide reduction programs. In general, reagents containing arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver should not be used if a suitable alternative exists. Avoid purchasing compressed gas cylinders containing toxic or reactive chemicals, mercury (in any form), peroxide formers, uranyl acetate, and uranyl nitrate. Questions should be directed to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for any material likely to fit the definition of classifications described above. Note: Dimethyl mercury is not permitted at UNH. Prior to the purchase of a hazardous material, individuals should check for available existing quantities of the hazardous material they need in UNHCEMS™. In the event that borrowing, sharing, or surplus material adoption can be performed, guidelines provided in the Hazardous Materials Management Plan should be followed and ownership must be updated in UNHCEMS™. In addition, alternatives should be evaluated to determine if a less toxic or non-toxic chemical may be substituted. Refer to Section VII-A and Appendix G for information on how to find less toxic chemicals and information on green chemicals. Hazardous materials may be purchased by trained individuals approved for Purchasing Card (P-Card) or Purchase Order acquisitions. Hazardous materials may not be purchased with personal credit cards. In addition, the USNH and UNH purchasing guidelines and policies for P-Card usage must be followed for hazardous material purchases (Appendix H). By utilizing these methods of purchasing hazardous materials, the purchaser acknowledges that he/she has read and is willing to comply with the Hazardous Materials Management Plan, understands the types of hazardous materials that require notification to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, and accepts responsibility for any hazardous material acquired from receipt until proper disposal unless ownership is properly transferred to another handler. Individuals are encouraged to use approved vendors for purchasing hazardous materials through the methods described in this document. These vendors are required to comply with their sales contracts established with UNH, including providing MSDS information for each hazardous materials purchase. In the event a hazardous material is purchased in limited quantities through private means, the handler must coordinate use, storage, and disposal of the hazardous material(s) with a Hazardous Material Coordinator or the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. All hazardous chemicals must be included in the UNHCEMS™ inventory and a MSDS must be forwarded to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. If the purchases are processed through Chemical Transfer Station, it will automatically be labeled with a barcode and entered into UNHCEMS™ prior to being delivered to purchaser. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all purchase be made and processed through the Chemical Transfer Station. If a hazardous material is delivered directly to the purchaser, the purchaser must confirm that the material is logged into UNHCEMS™ and the MSDS is forwarded to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. As required by OSHA, a MSDS must be provided for all hazardous material purchases. The only exception is the use of household consumer products when they are used in the workplace in the same manner that a consumer would use them (unless employees will work with the hazardous chemical in a manner that would expose them at a duration or frequency


greater than a normal consumer would experience). Limited quantities of hazardous materials that are typical consumer commodities are exempt from the Hazardous Materials Management Plan. However, these materials must be used, stored, and disposed of in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or current UNH disposal policies outlined in the Hazardous Waste Management Plan or Universal Waste Management Plan. Examples of consumer commodities that are considered hazardous materials are listed in Appendix I.

SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES FOR PURCHASING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AT UNH 1. Only personnel trained in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Management Plan should

make a hazardous material purchase. 2. Review the list of special handling requirements, restricted storage quantities, and the Office of

Environmental Health and Safety notification requirements for the specific hazardous material.

3. Notify the Office of Environmental Health and Safety if the material is identified in Section V-A.

4. Check UNHCEMS™ to confirm that the chemical is not already available on-site. 5. Review Green Chemistry alternatives (Appendix G). 6. Order only the quantity needed (i.e., larger/bulk quantities do not necessarily save UNH

money when storage, safety, and disposal issues are considered). 7. Follow P-Card procedures for all hazardous material purchases made with a P-Card

(Appendix H). 8. Purchase the hazardous material from an approved UNH vendor, if feasible. 9. Process the material purchase through the Chemical Transfer Station or Chemistry Stockroom

whenever feasible (except when the packages weigh more than 75 pounds). 10. Confirm that the material is properly logged into UNHCEMS™ (see Section VII-B). 11. Confirm that the MSDS is forwarded to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety if

purchased through private means. 12. Store the chemical in accordance with guidelines outlined in the Hazardous Materials

Management Plan (Section VI-B). 13. Dispose of waste material resulting from the use, expiration, chemical reaction, or inventory

reduction of the hazardous material following the procedures outlined by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (Section IX).

14. Update UNHCEMS™ when the chemical is depleted, transferred to another location (note new location), or disposed (see Sections VII-B and VII-C).

B. Purchasing Compressed Gases

Only trained and approved individuals may purchase gases at UNH. The purchase of gases using a P-card is not authorized. Gas cylinders should be purchased from vendors that accept the return of empty cylinders and purchasers should notify the Office of Environmental Health and Safety prior to ordering gases. By purchasing specific chemical gas cylinders, a Hazardous Material Coordinator and/or Hazardous Material Handler must acknowledge that he/she is aware of requirements for storage of compressed gases and is able to comply. Compressed gases may be flammable, reactive, corrosive or toxic and these properties must be considered when developing experimental procedures and designing apparatus. Gases, when not handled properly or not contained in properly designed vessels, may be extremely hazardous and may have a high potential for explosion. All procedures and experimental apparatus used in the handling of extremely toxic gases and gases with a high potential for explosion, should be approved in writing by the UNH Office of Environmental Health and Safety, prior to implementation.


VI. Hazardous Material Source Control

A. Purchasing Hazardous Materials Orders for all hazardous materials and regulated biological agents should be shipped to the Chemical Transfer Station using the instructions listed in this section, including orders through Fischer Scientific, Sigma-Aldrich, and VWR, unless you have been authorized by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety to directly receive hazardous materials. For example, orders for the Chemistry Department may be shipped directly to the Chemistry Stockroom. Packages weighing more than 75 pounds (34 kg) require special arrangements and must not be sent to the Chemical Transfer Station (need to be received directly). Properly received packages are delivered to the end user the same day they arrive. For chemical orders made with all other suppliers: Use this “ship-to” address:

[Your Name] UNH Chemical Transfer Station 11 Leavitt Lane Perpetuity Hall Durham, NH 03824

Enter in the attention line the building and room where the chemicals should be delivered. Online ordering is the preferred method, and it is strongly recommended that online accounts with authorized suppliers include the Office of Environmental Health and Safety e-mail address ([email protected]) as a secondary contact. In this circumstance, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety would automatically receive confirmation of online orders, which would allow them to prepare for timely deliveries or potentially identify transportation and storage issues prior to delivery. Also, before an order is placed, check the UNH Chemical Surplus List in UNHCEMS™ as the material may already be available at NO COST. As required by OSHA, a MSDS must be provided for all hazardous material purchases, with exception of household consumer products when they are used in the workplace in the same manner that a consumer would use them. However, if employees will work with the household consumer product in a manner that would expose them at a duration or frequency greater than a normal consumer would experience, then an MSDS is required. The MSDS is a summary of safety information for a hazardous substance or material. OSHA requires manufacturers and importers of chemicals to develop a MSDS for these materials. The MSDS must include the chemical and common names of all ingredients that have been determined to be health hazards if they constitute 1% or greater of the product’s composition or 0.1% for carcinogens. The MSDS typically includes information about a chemical’s toxicity, health hazards, physical properties, fire and reactivity data, as well as storage, spill, and handling precautions. Obtaining hazardous environmental samples (i.e., soil and water samples containing high concentrations of hazardous materials) from an off-site location is not permitted without prior consultation with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. Prior to setting-up or taking over the responsibility of a laboratory or area where hazardous chemicals are or will be stored, a Laboratory Check-In Form must be completed and submitted to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (Appendix A). A Laboratory Check-Out Form must also be completed when a laboratory is vacated (Appendix A). A


Laboratory Decommissioning Form (Appendix B) is used when a laboratory or storage area is to be completely eliminated.

B. Use and Storage of Hazardous Materials The use and storage of hazardous chemicals is a significantly regulated activity and is a critical aspect of overall management. Please refer to the Laboratory Safety Plan for more detailed information regarding the safe and proper chemical use and storage at UNH. Hazardous chemicals may only be used in areas intended for such use. Hazardous chemicals should never be used in areas lacking the appropriate infrastructure and proper means of ventilation. For example, hazardous chemicals should not be used in offices, dormitories, apartments, or other residential environments. Hazardous chemicals must never be used or stored in carpeted areas. Hazardous chemicals may not be removed from UNH property without prior written approval by a Dean, Director, or other appropriate administrator. As part of the main focus of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan, the number and amount of chemicals stored in laboratories should be reduced to an absolute minimum. Chemicals should be stored based on their compatibility; compatible chemicals can be stored alphabetically. Incompatible chemicals must be physically segregated during storage. Corrosives, flammable liquids, oxidizers, and highly reactive chemicals must be separated and stored properly to avoid an unwanted chemical reaction. Information on incompatible chemicals is available in Appendix F. Chemicals should be stored in a well-planned and coordinated manner. Specially designed cabinets should be used to store hazardous chemicals. Hazardous chemicals should not be stored under sinks. Chemically compatible bins should be used as secondary containment and to segregate incompatible materials. The outside of the storage area, such as doors or covers, should be labeled in a general manner to inform others about the presence of hazard materials and further labeled in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements (see Section VI-D and the Laboratory Safety Plan). Flammable liquids must be stored in safety cans, flammable storage cabinets, or flammable storage refrigerators. There are maximum container size requirements for different classes of flammable liquids and limits for the maximum amounts stored in a laboratory. In addition, there may be maximum time limits for certain hazardous materials. Large containers of reagents should be stored on low shelving, preferably in trays to contain all leaks and spills. Chemicals should not be stored on the floor, on bench tops, or inside fume hoods unless they are in active use. Hazardous materials must be properly labeled. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety should be contacted for additional information and assistance regarding storage and organization of hazardous materials. All Hazardous Material Handlers must understand and follow the elements of UNH’s hazardous material storage practices, as outlined in the following table:


SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL STORAGE 1. Store all hazardous materials in a manner to minimize exposure to staff and students. 2. Evaluate hazardous materials on an annual basis to determine their usability and need for

disposal. 3. Evaluate hazardous materials stored for a period greater than five years for potential disposal. 4. Review the MSDS to confirm special storage information. 5. Do not store incompatible materials together (see Appendix F). 6. Dispose of peroxide-forming compounds (i.e., ethers including dioxane) one year after receipt

and opening, two years if unopened (and no expiration date), and prior to manufacturers expiration date.

7. Store flammable materials in flammable storage cabinets. 8. Do not store hazardous chemicals under sinks. 9. Do not store acids and bases, due to their corrosive nature, within the flammable storage

cabinets or in other areas immediately next to combustible, flammable, or other hazardous materials that violently react with acids or bases.

10. Do not store hazardous materials in alphabetical order unless they have already been separated into their appropriate hazard classification.

11. Use spill trays for storing hazardous materials. 12. Dispose of unwanted or unusable chemicals promptly (see Section IX).

C. Distributing Hazardous Materials

Distribution of hazardous materials should only occur in an area authorized for the use of hazardous materials, such as a designated laboratory or satellite storage location. Hazardous Material Handlers are encouraged to share hazardous materials whenever possible in an effort to minimize the overall quantity of hazardous materials stored at UNH at any given time. Materials available for another handler at no cost are listed in the UNHCEMS™ chemical surplus list. A handler with a UNHCEMS™ account can “adopt” the material, which will add the material to their inventory. Hazardous Material Handlers should coordinate with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for transfer of the material if transportation is necessary. The UNHCEMS™ inventory must be updated to reflect the most current location of the material. Students utilizing hazardous materials outside of a typical area authorized for use of hazardous materials must coordinate activities through a Hazardous Material Handler before beginning activities. The Hazardous Material Coordinator is expected to work with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety to verify that the material is acceptable and the area in which the material will be used meets health and safety requirements. Small quantities of consumer commodities are not subject to this verification.

D. Container Labeling Requirements Containers must be dated and labeled with the chemical constituents and hazard. It is recommended that the owner’s name be included on the label. Labels on incoming containers must not be removed or defaced. Dating is especially important in the case of compounds that have a specified shelf life, such as those that will form peroxides (e.g., ethyl ether). Labeling nomenclature must match the information cataloged in UNHCEMS™. Identifying unknown materials for disposal is extremely costly. Hazardous Material Handlers who are leaving the University are responsible for identifying and coordinating the proper disposal of the chemical waste in their laboratory (see Section VII-C and the Laboratory Decommissioning Form in Appendix B). Contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for additional information and assistance.


For secondary (e.g., transfer) containers, the chemical names must be spelled out on labels. Chemical formulas, acronyms, and abbreviations are not acceptable as the only identification of the contents of a container. Laboratory samples, including field specimens and newly synthesized compounds, must be identified as accurately as possible. For field specimens that include preservative, the preservative must be identified. In cases where the container is unable to be labeled, steps should be taken to ensure the contents are easily identified (e.g., label the rack, box, or other outer container). Refer to the Laboratory Safety Plan for guidance on container labeling.

VII. Hazardous Material Inventory Management

A. UNH Chemical Environmental Management System (UNHCEMS™) According to the UNHCEMS™ database, in August 2010 there were more than 46,000 containers of hazardous materials on the campus and of those, there were 15,656 unique chemicals. The database contains more than 27,000 MSDS for use by personnel. In addition, there are currently over 900 active users of the program, including students, faculty, and staff. All hazardous chemicals used at UNH must be registered through UNHCEMS™. The Durham Fire Department and other emergency responders use UNHCEMS™ when responding to an emergency. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) also recommends that a current inventory of all hazardous and non-hazardous materials be maintained. An accurate inventory of hazardous materials is a vital aspect of promoting health and safety, as well as maintaining environmental compliance. In addition, due to OSHA requirements, an up-to-date MSDS must be available to all personnel that are exposed to the hazardous material. The MSDS is included in UNHCEMS™. Hazardous Material Handlers are expected to be familiar with UNHCEMS™. Training on the UNHCEMS™ program is provided through the Office of Environmental Health and Safety and is required for Hazardous Material Handlers that access the system. Hazardous materials must be properly labeled with a barcode sticker and electronically added to the UNHCEMS™ inventory. The materials must remain in UNHCEMS™ until it is depleted or removed for disposal. A request for an inventory change should be forwarded to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. For example, when a chemical is depleted, the user (or designated Hazardous Material Handler) should mark the container as “empty” in UNHCEMS™. Alternatively, the barcode sticker should be removed from the empty container and immediately sent to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety.

B. Inventory Schedule The inventory of hazardous materials must be kept up-to-date and should be managed using the UNHCEMS™ system. Updates to the database are critical in assessing the overall performance and improvements made with regard to waste reduction and crediting the proper groups with those reductions. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety enters the initial hazardous chemical data for new chemical purchases that are made through the Chemical Transfer Station (see Section VI-A). However, it is the responsibility of the Hazardous Material Coordinator to ensure that the inventory is updated (either by themselves or directly by the Hazardous Material Handler) when a new chemical is purchased that is not processed through the Chemical Transfer Station or when it is


depleted, disposed, or distributed to another location. Information regarding inventory changes should be forwarded to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety if assistance is required for data entry (see Section VII-A). At minimum, an annual inventory should be conducted in all areas where hazardous materials are stored. Hazardous Material Handlers should follow the checklist included in Appendix J. It is also recommended that voluntary periodic inventories be conducted throughout the year to keep UNHCEMS™ up-to-date to minimize the number of chemicals that have to be entered during the annual inventory. The schedule may be flexible dependent upon the quantities and types of hazardous materials managed in an area. As part of the annual and/or periodic inventories, the Hazardous Material Handlers should identify chemicals for disposal. It is recommended that clean-out inventories be coordinated with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety to ensure unwanted inventory items are easily retrieved by the Hazardous Waste Coordinator. Please note the inventory reduction requirements for special chemicals outlined in Section VI-C. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety conducts an inventory audit of areas that store hazardous materials at least once every two years. The biennial chemical inventory schedule is shown below.

UNH Biennial Chemical Inventory Schedule

January – March

1 Leavitt Lane, Barton Hall, Cole Hall, Dairy Research Center, Demeritt Hall, Greenhouses, James Hall, Nesmith Hall, Outdoor Pool, Perpetuity Hall, Printing and Mail, Putnam Hall, Rollins Water Treatment, Sedimentation Building, Service Building, UNHM

April – June Conant Hall, Kendall Hall, Kingsbury Hall, Morse Hall, Paul Creative Arts, Rudman Hall

The Office of Environmental Health and Safety inventory is more frequent if circumstances require it (i.e., change in laboratory location, closing of laboratory). In addition, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety conducts a laboratory safety audit annually.

C. Inventory Closeout The hazardous material inventory must be kept up-to-date in UNHCEMS™. Hazardous Material Coordinators are responsible for verifying that hazardous materials remaining in inventory are in active use and coordinates with the disposal schedule to regularly remove unwanted materials. When a hazardous material is removed from inventory, the material must be properly disposed and removed from UNHCEMS™. Occasionally, larger hazardous material inventories must be closed out due to project completion, departing faculty, departing student researchers, or special projects. In the event of a large inventory closeout, the Hazardous Material Handlers must coordinate with the


Hazardous Material Coordinator and the Office of Environmental Health and Safety before the project completion or departure. Hazardous Material Handlers are encouraged to notify the Office of Environmental Health and Safety as soon as possible so that hazardous materials can be transferred to other trained individuals or properly disposed of safely and in a timely manner. When inventory closeout is due to handler departure, the handler must complete the Laboratory Decommissioning Form (Appendix B).

VIII. Hazardous Material Minimization Minimization is any action that reduces the quantity and/or toxicity of hazardous materials purchased, stored, or disposed of as a hazardous waste. Minimization efforts contribute to positive environmental and financial outcomes for the campus. It is encouraged that the minimization of hazardous materials should be an integral part of the inquiry process, experiment design, and operating procedures. A. Source Reduction

Source reduction is an activity that reduces or eliminates the quantity of hazardous materials at the source and the quantity of waste generated. This can be accomplished by purchasing hazardous materials in smaller quantities, targeting chemicals for reduction, material substitution of less hazardous materials, and laboratory process modification. UNH encourages users to purchase hazardous material quantities that are either below regulatory storage thresholds, or that will be used in one year, whichever is less. Although some cost savings can be realized when purchasing chemicals in bulk, there are additional costs associated with the storage, disposal, and management of the bulk material. Whenever possible, Hazardous Material Handlers should determine if users from other departments require the same chemical and evaluate opportunities to “share” in purchases. Contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety to help identify other users of similar chemicals to coordinate shared purchases. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety has implemented several programs for targeted chemical reduction. Refer to Section V-A for additional information on chemicals that should be avoided. The USEPA has also identified 36 chemicals that should be targeted for minimization (see Appendix K). UNH encourages that hazardous materials users try to avoid the use of these target chemicals. Material substitution may involve activities such as chemical substitution or green chemistry. Examples of substitution include spirit-filled or digital instruments in place of mercury-containing devices, biodegradable detergents in place of solvents, and latex-based paints rather than oil-based paints and thinners. Tools to identify potential material substitutes are included in Appendix G. Process modification, such as micro-scale experiments or pre-experiment quantification, such as pre-weighing or using pre-measured packets, should be evaluated and conducted using prudent practices. Hazardous Material Handlers are encouraged to consider demonstrations or video presentations as a substitute for some educational experiments. Improved laboratory operations, such as reducing spillage and labeling all chemicals, will help to minimize the use of hazardous materials and create less waste and emissions. Again, Appendix G provides excellent resources to help achieve these goals.


EXAMPLE SOURCE REDUCTION IDEAS 1. Purchase quantities that are either below regulatory storage thresholds or that will be used in

one year, whichever is less. 2. Share in the bulk chemical purchase between departments or locations. 3. Don’t purchase “targeted” chemicals, if possible. 4. Use older chemicals before newer ones (and use before the expiration date). 5. Label all containers to avoid generating “unknown” chemical wastes. 6. Maintain a current inventory and only purchase if the chemical is not in the inventory. 7. When purchasing a chemical, consider using a chemical no longer needed by another

department or area. 8. Replace toxic chemicals with less toxic or non-toxic alternatives. 9. Use video demonstrations as a substitute for some student experiments. 10. Purchase and use pre-weighed or pre-measured reagent packets. 11. Use detergent and hot water for cleaning in lieu of solvents. 12. Use micro-scale experimentation. 13. Dispose of materials as soon as it is determined that they are no longer needed. 14. Follow good laboratory practices to minimize mixing of waste streams, excess use, and

spillage. 15. Implement automation/instrumentation that will reduce hazardous material use.

B. Reprocessing

Reuse and/or recycling is encouraged when technically feasible. Reprocessing occurs when a hazardous material is used for another purpose, reused in the same process, or reclaimed for another process. For example, UNH purchased a solvent recovery unit in 2009. The specialized equipment required for solvent recovery can occasionally be obtained through cost sharing or other incentives. Contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for additional information on the implementation of this option. Examples of typical methods of minimization through reprocessing include:

EXAMPLE REUSE/RECYCLING IDEAS

1. When solvents are used for cleaning purposes, use contaminated solvents for the initial cleaning, whenever possible, and use new solvents for the final rinse.

2. Treat photographic waste with a silver recovery unit (contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for additional information).

3. Re-circulate unused, excess chemicals within your department or suggest sharing with other departments.

4. Install solvent recovery systems (contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety for more information).

5. Advertise by-products or wastes created during hazardous material use in case another user can beneficially re-use them.

C. On-Site Treatment

Treatment of hazardous materials should only be utilized as a minimization effort if coordinated with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. Regulations require strict procedures in how on-site treatment can occur. The most common treatment is acid base neutralization during laboratory experiments. Hazardous Material Handlers should consider including detoxification and/or neutralization steps in laboratory procedures when they are initially designed. In addition, certain chemicals, such as formaldehyde or ethidium bromide gels, can be detoxified prior to disposal. Only treat a material if it renders it non-hazardous or reduces its


volume. Guidance on treatment and/or detoxification should be obtained from the Office of Environmental Health and Safety and conducted only with written approval.

IX. Hazardous Material Disposal The Hazardous Waste Management Plan and Universal Waste Management Plan provide detailed guidance on the storage, labeling and disposal requirements of hazardous, universal and non-hazardous wastes. Proper packaging of hazardous waste is necessary for safe transportation from point of origin to ultimate disposal. The selection of appropriate containers helps prevent leaks and spills that may result in human exposure or environmental release during material handling, storage, and transport. Routine handling occurs on the campus, in transit to the disposal facility or during the disposal process. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety provides for the distribution of proper hazardous waste containers. Determination of waste container type is based primarily on the chemical characteristics of the waste contained, waste generation rate, satellite accumulation area considerations and disposal method. The selection of appropriate containers is only to be completed by the Coordinator of Hazardous Waste or the Hazardous Waste Specialist. In support of the University’s ongoing efforts to minimize costs, control liability, and maintain a sound environmental program, every effort will be made by UNH to minimize the generation of hazardous waste. To accomplish this objective, UNH has developed a Waste Minimization Strategy designed to identify and develop opportunities to control chemical use and reduce waste generation. Various methods have been identified and implemented, including:

WASTE MINIMIZATION STRATEGY

1. Carefully evaluate the need to purchase chemicals to begin with, and then only if other alternatives are not available.

2. Purchasing Control: purchase materials only in amounts required for use in planned teaching or research.

3. Periodic Inventory Evaluation: evaluate laboratory reagents for current use, transfer to virtual stockroom or disposal.

4. Surplus List: utilize UNHCEMS™ to match on-campus chemicals with university researchers to avoid the disposal of useful materials.

5. Environmental Management: Make every effort to reduce the volume of the solid waste stream, reduce the toxicity of the solid waste stream, increase re-use and recycling efforts, and promote pollution prevention at the University.

6. Bulk materials whenever possible (as determined by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety) to maximize disposal cost efficiency.

X. Health & Safety

MSDS, emergency procedures, safety manuals, and other references must be readily available for all laboratory personnel. Safety guidance for use of most hazardous materials can be found in the Laboratory Safety Plan. Appropriate personal protective equipment must be used when handling hazardous materials. A. Emergency Planning

As described in the Laboratory Safety Plan, Hazardous Material Handlers should consider the following criteria before working with any hazardous material: 1. Potential receptors involved with the location and type of hazardous material

use/storage. 2. Toxicity, reactivity, and flammability of the material.


3. The amounts involved and nature of use. 4. The expected duration of exposure to the material. 5. Potential routes of entry for the material (i.e., inhalation, ingestion, injection, skin

contact). 6. Potential by-product or waste generation. Information on a hazardous material can be found in the MSDS for that material which must be maintained in UNHCEMS™. If a spill or release of a hazardous material occurs, response actions taken should follow the Emergency Procedures Program, Integrated Contingency Plan, Laboratory Safety Plan, Radiation Protection Program, and/or Site-Specific Spill Response Procedures. Releases must immediately be reported to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. In the event of a hazardous material release: 1. Alert all persons nearby. 2. Avoid breathing aerosols of the released material. 3. If flammables are released and the area is safe, turn off or remove any potential sources

of ignition (e.g., lights, motors, Bunsen burners). 4. Evacuate the area and seal the area if feasible (i.e., cover or contain spills, close doors). 5. Secure the area to prevent others from entering (i.e., lock doors and post signs). 6. Immediately notify a supervisor of the incidents, including chemical(s) involved and

nature and volume of the release. 7. During regular work hours contact the Office of Environmental Health and Safety at

603-862-4041, and during non-working hours, contact UNH Police at 911 for advice and assistance.

B. Security Considerations

Security of hazardous materials is an integral part of an effective health and safety program, as well as being a requirement for certain DHS listed chemicals. Follow these steps to ensure a secure working environment when working with hazardous materials: 1. Keep storage areas for hazardous materials closed and locked when unoccupied. 2. Keep an accurate record of hazardous materials used, project materials, and those items

that support project activities. 3. Notify UNH police if materials are damaged or missing from areas where hazardous

materials are stored. 4. Inspect packages that contain hazardous materials upon arrival to verify that they match

what was ordered. 5. Properly store and secure hazardous materials when not in active use. 6. Do not allow unauthorized persons to come into contact with hazardous materials. 7. Discuss security-specific requirements with supervisor and colleagues. Refer to the Laboratory Safety Plan and Radiation Protection Program for more information.


XI. Recordkeeping and Reporting Detailed recordkeeping is a vital aspect of promoting health and safety, as well as maintaining environmental compliance. The success of the program can only be measured if everyone participates and maintains the required records. Records and reporting documents are required for purchasing, storing, use, and disposal of hazardous materials. The forms are indicated throughout the Hazardous Materials Management Plan and include:

1. Follow P-Card or Purchase Order procedures. 2. Laboratory Check-In/Check-Out Form. 3. Laboratory Decommissioning Checklist. 4. Laboratory Safety Inspection Checklist. 5. Up-to-date inventory in UNHCHEMS™. 6. MSDS in UNHCHEMS™.

Departmental policies for recordkeeping should also be followed. In addition, records for Hazardous Materials Management Training are maintained by recording the names of those that have completed the Hazardous Materials Training Module in Blackboard (via computer) or participated in a live training class. Training records should include the date of training, training provided, and attendee’s names.

XII. Training Program Hazardous Materials Management Training is intended to help participants understand the goals and objectives of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan and provide guidance on how to follow the policies and procedures contained in the Plan. It is the responsibility of the Hazardous Material Coordinator to ensure that Hazardous Material Handlers, from professors to students, all obtain appropriate training and receive the guidance necessary to follow the procedures outlined in the Hazardous Materials Management Plan. Personnel must complete the Hazardous Materials Management Training within six months of employment or assignment to a location where hazardous materials are used or stored and every three years thereafter. Components of the hazardous materials training include:

1. Roles and responsibilities. 2. Understanding the definition of a hazardous material. 3. Guidelines for purchasing hazardous materials. 4. Hazardous materials management. 5. Ways to minimize quantity and toxicity of hazardous materials. 6. Ways to minimize hazardous materials usage and waste generation. 7. Procedures for maintaining an inventory of hazardous materials. 8. Health and safety requirements for use and storage of hazardous materials. 9. Procedures for completing the Hazardous Materials Management Plan forms.

The training will be conducted through the Office of Environmental Health and Safety in conjunction with existing training programs associated with hazardous and universal waste management. A special separate training module will be available to those that do not currently take hazardous waste and universal waste management training. The training will be provided using Blackboard so that it is accessible for all users at their convenience. Additional live training will be conducted as determined by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety.


XIII. Sustainability Sustainability is a major component of the University’s mission and institutional identity. UNH wishes to integrate sustainability across their curriculum, operations, research and engagement (CORE) through initiatives in biodiversity, climate, food, and culture. With the implementation of the policies and procedures outlined in the Hazardous Materials Management Plan, UNH will be working towards accomplishing climate sustainability initiatives by reducing their indirect emissions. Steps toward reaching the biodiversity initiative will be accomplished by reducing the waste generated (i.e., less impact on the environment). The Hazardous Materials Management Plan has been established with objectives for use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials to encourage sustainable policies and practices in operations, research, curriculum, and engagement. Recommendations for green chemical substitution, waste minimization, hazardous material inventory reuse, and toxics reduction policies are several examples of how sustainability can be incorporated into every day research and education practices. More information on UNH biodiversity, climate, food, and culture initiatives, and how this relates to hazardous material management can be obtained from the Office of Sustainability.

XIV. Assessment Program

A. Successes to Date

Goals established by the Hazardous Materials Management Plan are primarily related to inventory reduction, minimization, and sustainability efforts related to hazardous materials purchased, used, stored and disposed. The success of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan depends upon participation at all levels at UNH. A number of efforts have been successfully implemented to date that highlight the benefits of working towards achieving the Hazardous Materials Management Plan goals. These successes are summarized in the following table:

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS OF SUCCESS Mercury Thermometer Exchange Program

Over 1,500 mercury thermometers have been removed from UNH since 2002 (resulting in more than 60 pounds of mercury being removed from UNH).

Peroxidizable Chemical Removal Project

Over 100 containers of peroxidizable chemicals have been removed from UNH since 2007.

New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Solvent Recovery System

A new solvent recovery system in Kendall Hall is expected to reduce the amount of waste disposed by approximately 1,000 kg of solvent and 750 kg of formalin

Parsons Hall Chemical Minimization Program

Over 3,500 containers of hazardous chemicals have been removed from Parsons Hall since 2007.

Potassium Permanganate Minimization Program

Over 200 pounds of potassium permanganate was removed from UNH in 2010.

Nitric Acid Minimization Project Over 450 pounds of nitric acid was removed from UNH in 2008.

Micro-Scale Equipment Program Since 2002, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety has purchased over $30,000 in micro-scale technology (e.g., green chemistry kits, balances, heating blocks, stirrer, hotplates, and micropipettes).

Mercury-Containing Equipment Exchange

More than 35 mercury-containing devices (e.g., manometers, barometers) have been removed from UNH since 2005 (resulting in more than 30 pounds of mercury being removed


PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS OF SUCCESS from UNH).

Chemical Surplus List UNH has implemented a Chemical Adoption/Surplus Inventory List into UNHCEMS™ with electronic links to chemicals that can be adopted for free.

Radiation Safety A comprehensive Radiation Safety Program was developed in 2010 that is designed to control operations conducted that may result in the exposure of the general public and/or the environment to ionizing radiation.

Infectious Waste Minimization Project

Infectious waste at UNH has decreased 75% since 2005.

B. Hazardous Material Management Program Tracking

A key component of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan is the establishment of reduction targets for the quantity of hazardous materials on campus. The metrics and timeline of the reduction target is an overall reduction of 10% of the total 2010 hazardous material inventory by 2015. As the target is achieved, additional reduction targets will be established as part of future strategic planning. The Chemical Safety Committee is expected to track the progress of achieving the reduction targets established through the Hazardous Materials Management Plan and determine successes and adjustments, as needed.

C. Performance Incentives The UNH campus is encouraged to exceed the requirements outlined in the Hazardous Materials Management Plan because of the benefits described throughout the program. It is recommended that Chemical Safety Committee grant achievement awards for departments and research groups that meet the minimum requirements of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan and demonstrate compliance with its policies and procedures. In addition, it is recommended that performance incentives, including campus-wide recognition programs, be developed for those departments, offices, or teams that implement the largest hazardous material use reduction (percentage of their current use), identify/implement the most innovative minimization program, or identify/implement other programs that promote and/or highlight the objectives of the Hazardous Materials Management Plan. It is also recommended that UNH establish a revolving fund for research that incorporates minimization and sustainability into the research process. Students conducting research should be encouraged by their advisors/professors to consider and include hazardous materials use and waste minimization principles as part of their projects.

D. Non-Compliance Responsibility State, local, or federal inspection program fines or penalties that are incurred as a result of the clear mismanagement of hazardous materials or waste shall be the direct responsibility of the department/groups where the violations occurred. Also, unnecessary costs associated with the clear mismanagement of hazardous materials shall be the responsibility of the department/group where the mismanagement occurred. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety will be working with all departments to provide guidance and support to maintain compliance with environmental, health, and safety


regulations and prevent potential fines and penalties. Examples of hazardous materials mismanagement may include retaining unknown wastes, improper disposal of materials down the drain, improper management of peroxidizable chemicals, inappropriate use of dioxin or dioxin-containing materials, and the improper storage and/or labeling of hazardous materials or waste.

XV. Program Maintenance The campus community as a whole is expected to work together to implement the Hazardous Materials Management Plan. The Hazardous Materials Management Plan is intended to be a living document that can be modified as new techniques, technologies, and alternatives are available to manage and minimize the use of hazardous materials in the academic setting. The Chemical Safety Committee will review the Hazardous Materials Management Plan at least once every two years in order to provide recommendations for updates or modifications to the programs, as necessary. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety will be responsible for reviewing and incorporating the comments and keeping the Hazardous Materials Management Plan up-to-date.

Shock-Sensitive and Explosive Chemicals Shock-sensitive refers to the susceptibility of a chemical to rapidly decompose or explode when struck, vibrated or otherwise agitated. Explosive chemicals are those that have a high propensity to explode under a given set of circumstances (e.g., extreme heat, pressure, mixture with an incompatible chemical, decomposition). The label and MSDS will indicate if a chemical is shock-sensitive, explosive or peroxide forming. The chemicals listed below are listed only as a guide to select shock-sensitive, and explosive chemicals. Follow these guidelines:

• Write the date received and date opened on all containers of shock-sensitive and peroxide forming chemicals. Some chemicals become increasingly sensitive with age.

• Unless the manufacturer added an inhibitor, closed containers of shock-sensitive or peroxide forming materials should be discarded after 1 year.

Shock-Sensitive/Explosive Chemicals

• Acetylene • Acetylides of heavy metal • Amatex • Amatol • Ammonal • Ammonium nitrate • Ammonium perchlorate • Ammonium picrate • Azides of heavy metals • Baratol • Calcium nitrate • Chlorate • Copper acetylide • Cyanuric triazide • Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine • Dinitrophenol • Dinitrophenyl hydrazine • Dinitrotoluene • Ednatol • Erythritol tetranitrate • Ethyl-tetryl • Ethylene oxide • Fulminating gold • Fulminating mercury • Fulminating platinum • Fulminating silver • Gelatinized nitrocellulose

• Guanyl • Guanyl nitrsamino • Guanyltetrazene • Hydrazine • Nitrated carbohydrate • Nitrated glucoside • Nitrogen trichloride • Nitrogen triiodide • Nitroglycerin • Nitroglycide • Nitroglycol • Nitroguanidine • Nitroparaffins • Nitrourea • Organic nitramines • Ozonides • Pentolite • Perchlorates of heavy metals • Peroxides • Picramic acid • Picramide • Picratol • Picric acid • Picryl sulphonic acid • Silver acetylide • Silver azide • Tetranitromethane

Acutely Toxic Chemicals Certain chemicals have been identified as causing acute health effects or long-term chronic health effects. Substances of acute toxicity cause immediate health effects at very low concentrations. The LD50 is the single dose of a substance, which causes the death of 50% of an animal population when exposed to the substance by any route other than inhalation. LD50 is usually expressed as milligrams or grams or material per kilogram of animal weight (mg/kg or g/kg). The animal species and means of administering the dose (e.g., oral, intravenous) should also be stated. Toxicity is typically defined as:

• Slightly toxic: LD50 of 500 - 5,000 mg/kg • Moderately toxic: LD50 of 50-500 mg/kg • Acutely toxic: LD50 of <50 mg/kg

Some examples of chemicals with high acute toxicity are provided below:

• Acrolein • Arsine • Chlorine • Diazomethane • Diborane • Dimethylmercury • Hydrogen cyanide • Hydrogen fluoride (hydrofluoric acid) • Methyl fluorosulfate

• Nickel carbonyl • Nitrogen dioxide • Osmium tetroxide • Ozone • Phenol • Phosgene • Potassium cyanide • Sodium azide • Sodium cyanide (and other cyanide salts)
