I'm not sure how the counting was done, but I imagine
that the number of
college
and university labs would have been indicated in the EPA
proceedings
on the recent Subpart K of
the Hazardous Waste regulations, the new version
addressing waste in C/U laboratories.
I don't
have that information myself, but that seems like a likely place
to
find the
number.

Ralph, I
think you could get a good estimate of Academic chemistry
department
research laboratories by getting a census of the full time
chemistry
faculty at PhD granting institutions. That would
certainly
provide a first rough cut of the number of research labs
(lab research
programs, not individual lab rooms) under the direction
of chemistry
faculty.
