TextPublisher: San Carlos City, Pangasinan : [s.n.], 2014Description: xiv, 144 pages : illustration ; 28 centimeterSubject(s): Environmental protectionDDC classification: DIS 344 G94i 2014 Summary: The study further sought to classify laboratory waste products in terms of nature, state, solubility, and combustibility, determine the level of implementation of laboratory waste management among instructors and first year college students and to determine the difference between instructors and the first year college students on the level of implementation of laboratory waste management with the wastes' classifications. The respondents were tertiary instructors and first year college students from seven (7) selected colleges and universities in Pangasinan. The study used a survey-questionnaire instrument and the results were tabulated, collated, and analyzed after using statistical approaches such as frequencies and percentages, weighted mean and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Based on the findings the nature of waste was classified as biological and chemical waste. There are three (3) states of waste namely solid, liquid and gaseous waste. Laboratory waste can also be soluble or insoluble in water and combustible or noncombustible. On the level of implementation of waste management, the management was classified based on the nature of waste, solubility and combustibility. Findings show that most laboratories generate and dispose chemical wastes (72.5%) are mostly solid, liquid and gaseous in forms (83.1%). Moreover, these wastes are water soluble (56.7%) and combustible (52.2%). The level of implementation of waste management of both instructors and students is very low implying that the waste management is hardly ever implemented. Likewise, the difference between instructors and students on the level of implementation across classification of waste is not significant which means that both instructors and students hardly ever implemented the laboratory waste management.
With the foregoing findings and conclusions, the proposed practical guide on waste management is developed and be adopted and implemented by the instructors and students alike in tertiary educational institutions and basic education schools to improve laboratory waste management. And that future research can be done on factors affecting waste management in the laboratory such as behavioral and economic factors and on possible factors affecting the implementation of the practical guide.

The study further sought to classify laboratory waste products in terms of nature, state, solubility, and combustibility, determine the level of implementation of laboratory waste management among instructors and first year college students and to determine the difference between instructors and the first year college students on the level of implementation of laboratory waste management with the wastes' classifications. The respondents were tertiary instructors and first year college students from seven (7) selected colleges and universities in Pangasinan.
