Orphan Chemical Room

April 11, 2018

The Department of Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) has free "orphaned" chemicals that are available to all researchers on a "first come, first serve" basis.

Orphan chemicals are donated by laboratories or collected by EHS to be re-used, re-purposed, or recycled to reduce our environmental impact.

  • All Wright State laboratories can participate by obtaining "orphan" chemicals or donating "orphan" chemicals.
