Subject: RE: [DCHAS-L] Chemical lists for schools

I apologize if someone else has already referenced this. I saw the  
first post, but have been frantically busy since.

The Washington State Department of Health and the Office of  
Superintendent of Public Instruction has published a Health and  
Safety Guide for K-12 schools in Washington State (http:// 
www.k12.wa.us/SchFacilities/HealthSafetyGuide.aspx). Appendix D  
contains a list of "chemicals deemed unsuitable for use in K-12  
schools due to excessive risk that exceeds educational utility" and a  
list of "chemicals appropriate only for advanced level high school  
science classes due to high risk and limited to small or micro scale  
quantities".
