Hathama,
I see from your email address that there is a good chance that your chemical waste is in Iraq. The last time I was in Baghdad (2004) there were not many option for locating a hazardous waste service provider. Since things are starting to moderate you may have some services coming back on line. To reduce your risk until you are able to locate one of these, you should probably look through your inventory of waste and segregate what you are able to. Get your heavy metals together, your organic solvents, etc. Look out for immediate hazards such as picric acid and old ethers, tetrahydrofuran and the like. Those are your extreme risks and they should be treated as unexploded bombs. If you are not a chemist, you are not the person to be doing this. You have the potential for some very dangerous reactions as you start moving bottles around. You may want to notify the local police…they may be able to provide resources.
I’d like to help but, the last time I was over there, people shot at me.
