The goal of Chem-exchange is to minimize existing campus chemical excesses and effect cost savings in the purchasing of new chemicals. Chemicals available for redistribution often have been offered for a number of reasons. A general laboratory review has disclosed excess chemicals. There have been changes in project or personnel.
Many chemicals still have their factory seals.
The Department of Environmental Health and Safety will coordinate the redistribution program. A list of chemicals available for redistribution will be maintained by Environmental Health and Safety. The list will be published on a regular basis. Copies of the listing will be sent to all applicable departments. In addition, a formal listing of surplus chemicals will be available through the Environmental Health and Safety Homepage and updated as required.
