This is the fourth edition of Destruction of Hazardous Chemicals in the Laboratory, originally published in 1990 with a second edition in 1994 and a third in 2012. Many of the monographs from the third edition that deal with specific chemicals have been modified to a greater or lesser extent to take into account recent developments in the literature. Methods for the destruction of pharmaceuticals have been similarly modified and expanded.

We have also greatly expanded a section that deals with nonspecific methods for the destruction of hazardous organic chemicals. The methods in this section have been divided into General Procedures and Photolytic Procedures with many subheads (see the Table of Contents). They may be of use when no procedures for destroying a particular compound have been reported. In such cases, the precautions that must be taken when dealing with previously untried procedures are particularly important. These procedures are illustrated with many examples drawn from the literature.
