Hi:
It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep undergraduates from using their electronic devices in the teaching lab. We disclaim that any damage is not the responsibility of the institution.
Here's the question: What if something hazardous is spilled on the device and it can't be decontaminated? Does the device become hazardous waste at that point? What if the owner isn't willing to give up the device for disposal?
This scenario hasn't presented itself =E2=80" yet!
Thanks,
Debbie
