11. CWC 741: Liquids with Halogenated Organic Compounds (.> 1000 mgn) <br />l 1.1 Italouenated Solvent Waste from Research Activities <br />CWC 741 waste streams are from laboratory research activities. The predominant <br />generator is the nano -technology research facility. The waste streams are comprised of <br />chemical mixtures from research activities, including, chlorobenzene, methylene <br />chloride, chloroform, polyfluorene, toluene, methanol, acetonitrile and many others. <br />Nano -technology research at LBNL has increased significantly over the last 10 years and <br />is expected to continue to grow due to the expanded research scope and focus by the <br />scientific community cutting edge science performed at the laboratory. The investment <br />into highly sophisticated and advanced nanotechnology equipment has made LBNL a <br />leadirig location for nanotechnology investigations in several topical areas. With this <br />increase in research, this waste stream generated by the nano -technology research facility <br />has shown an increase in volume. Measures to manage this increase will be investigated <br />while traditional approaches are promoted. <br />September 1, 2015 SB 14 Report III -16 <br />
