Safe disposal of powder acrlamide - (Mar/16/2008 )

Hi,

Acrlamide has been stored for long now I want to discard it. So please tell me the procedure for safe disposal of powder acrylamide. Thanking in advance.

Ummm... Powder Acrylamide is a dangerous neurotoxic that I wouldn't recommend working with (you're better off buying liquid acrylamide next time...). My suggestion would be to polymerize it before discarding, although it might be a pain if you have a lot to get rid of.

solve it in water at high concentration, and polymerize with TEMED and APS; polyacrylamide is non-toxic
