Subject: Chemistry at home
Most homes already contain many hazardous chemicals: Oven cleaner, drain
cleaner, bleach, ammonia solution, pesticides, gasoline, lead (solder or
paint), propane, natural gas, alcohols, paints, and who knows what
else. I can't believe your insurance company is going to get excited
over small amounts dilute solutions of mildly hazardous chemicals when I
have a car with 20 gallons of highly flammable hydrocarbons in my
garage. How many of us had chemistry sets when we were young?
Our local solid waste district will take small amounts of hazardous
waste from home owners for free.
