ABSTRACT : In laboratory experiments it is common for students to acquire knowledge and develop the basic abilities needed to solve different types of problems related to synthesis and analysis. The students are so interested in this objective that they do not generally pay any attention to the wastes generated during their lab experiments. It is well known that experiments usually generate small quantities of a large variety of wastes. Nevertheless, the complexity of the wastes generated in the laboratories of educational institutions is large. Thus, detailed studies of their treatment should be undertaken. In North American and European universities the problem has been solved by sending these wastes to specialized companies that treat and dispose of them; however, in Mexico, such alternatives are not available owing to the high cost for waste disposal. Therefore, the Organic Chemistry Department of the Chemistry School at the National Autonomous University of Mexico has started a project concerned with the management and treatment of wastes generated during experimental lab sessions. In the United States and Europe, students do not generally treat their wastes. Therefore, it would be convenient to include this treatment as part of the educational aspects in organic experiments in all parts of the world to develop an environmentally conscience culture among them. 56
