Hi Alex!
Segregating organic acids from inorganic acids may have operational justification inside any institution that has
specific reasons for the segregation based on experience with whatever materials they are using.
These reasons may have little or nothing to do with the presence of carbon in the particular materials involved. I perceive the word “organic” here as a possible
false flag.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Chemical storage guidance for bases
Our university’s current chemical storage guidance recommends segregating organic bases from inorganic bases. This has been called into question by one of our research faculty, so I am hoping to get some opinions on the practice from this
group. I have noted that certain institutions include similar guidance in their chemical storage guidelines while others do not. Does anyone know of particular organic bases that are reactive with inorganic bases? We see very few organic bases on our campus,
so this topic does not come up very often for us.
Any examples or feedback you can share with me are appreciated!
