Subject: Picric Acid Synthesis

I was wondering what sort of safety procedures should be used when undergraduates synthesize picric acid.  Also, what one should do with the material after it is made?    As I remember the disposal cost is rather high and it is not something one wants to store long term especially if it likely to be forgotten about.  We have organic studen ts that want to do special projects and a few want the opportunity to make pic ric acid.

Thanks for any comments and help on this.
