Good morning, We're doing some laboratory renovations and I am interested in hearing from others who have decommissioned labs for your renovators... If you were requested to "evaluate laboratory fume hoods for the potential of hazardous materials through wipe sampling", and you knew no perchlorates were ever used, did you test for anything else? (What materials actually CAN be analyzed this way? These are fume hoods that need a wipe-down, but aren't showing signs of significant contamination) If you were requested to 'biologically and chemically decontaminate traps" for chemistry labs, what did you/your outside contractors do? I want tomake sure these areas are safe for the workers, and will contract out this work to a hazmat/hazwaste specialty vendor, but I want to know what is reasonable to do...I have a fair idea of the history of most of the labs so if there is a 'flow chart' approach that would be very helpful. Many thanks! Margaret Margaret A. Rakas, Ph.D. Manager, Inventory & Regulatory Affairs Clark Science Center Smith College Northampton, MA. 01063 p: 413-585-3877 f: 413-585-3786
