Dear Fadare Oluniyi,

Because you have a long list of chemicals, each one of which is hazardous in 
one or more than one way, it is clear that you need professional help from a 
competent consultant.  To obtain information how to find a competent 
consultant, you need to ask persons you have confidence in for such names.

Jay Young
