There are many different chemicals and devices that are important to everyday use, both at home, and in the workplace. Items such as batteries, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, paints, thinners, solvents, cleaning supplies, etc. Although they serve an important purpose, they also pose environmental challenges when not disposed of responsibly.
