Pollution Prevention Conference

[Nicole=Bernholc%occsafe%sep@sep2.sep.bnl.gov]

Brookhaven National Laboratory, through the Hazardous Waste Group, is 
sponsoring the first of a series of symposiums focusing on
hazardous waste issues for laboroatores.  This program will focus on 
microscale chemistry procedures, and waste reduction in the laboratory 
including radioactive waste minimization.  These workshops are free and open 
to the public.  Beside BNL researchers, we specifically invite hospital and 
university researchers, as well as college and university teachers, and 
representatives from biotech and analytical industries.  

Whether you attend or not, we are interested in learning what effect the 
Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 has made on hopsital and medical research.  
The information will be summarized and transmitted to Chicago Department of 
Energy.  We are trying to determine what problems researchers and hospitals 
are having, and whether DOE can provide assistance with these problems.
