Water (WR) Water Pollution Prevention in campus area 1. Hazardous Waste Management from University LaboratoriesThe university has implemented a systematic process for managing hazardous laboratory waste to prevent environmental contamination, particularly of water resources. Waste is first classified and documented by type and source, followed by an assessment of concentration levels and hazard characteristics. It is then safely stored and segregated to prevent leakage or cross-contamination. The waste is collected and transferred to the university’s central storage facility, where it is handled in accordance with strict safety protocols. It is then disposed of by licensed contractors authorized by government agencies, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Figures: Hazardous Waste Management from University Laboratories.
