Appendix H The Most important single
reference for schools is the National Research Council's Prudent Practices
in the Laboratory: Handling and Disposal of Chemicals. It was published
in Washington, D.C. by the National Academy Press in1995. Additional
information of value to science teachers is provided by a wide variety of
publications and Internet web sites of the federal government and state
agencies, professional associations, and private publishers. This listing is
divided into three sections: I. References Providing
Information on General Laboratory Safety, II. Sources for More Specific
Information on Individual Hazards, and III. Significant Safety-Related
Internet Sites. I.
