Solvent 'Cradle-to-Grave' Management Guidelines for Use at Army Installations.

Abstract

Establishment of 'cradle-to-grave' guidelines for procurement, use, and disposal of solvents at installations is one way the Army can manage and control hazardous materials. This report presents information derived from a literature review and installation site visits; this information has been used to develop a Solvents Management Plan. This plan provides Army personnel with guidelines on minimizing solvent use; substituting less toxic solvents; minimizing solvent wastes; proper handling, storing, and disposal of solvent wastes; and recycling of solvent wastes.
