1.2 Disposal of Waste Waste that Can be Disposed of into Sinks and Waste that Cannot be Disposed of into Sinks

1. There are two types of waste substances: (a) substances that can be disposed of into sinks (b) substances that cannot be disposed of into sinks

Table 1.2 Types of waste substance

Form

4

Type of waste substances Substances that can be disposed of into sinks

Description Substances that are non-hazardous and in low concentration such as neutral substances, weak acids (pH 5 and 6) and weak alkali (pH 8) Solid waste • May clog up the sink.

• Examples: Shredded paper, eraser dust, sawdust Substances with pH value lower than 5 and more than 9 • These are strong acids and strong alkalis.

• Examples: Vinegar, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, ammonia Organic solvent compounds • Organic solvents do not dissolve in water.

• Examples: Paraffin, ether, petroleum, benzene, chloroform, acetone Chemical substances • These substances reacts with water and corrode the sink drain • Examples: Acid, grease, oil, oil paint, hydrogen peroxide Toxic chemicals • This substance is harmful to organisms and will pollute water sources • Examples: Mercury, cyanide, chlorine gas

Substances that cannot be disposed of into sinks

Heavy metals • Although these metals are required in the body in trace amounts, excessive exposure to them will leave harmful effects on the human body.

• Examples: Lead, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, copper, iron Organic waste substances (carcass) • These substances will lead to water pollution and poisonous.

• Examples: Animal remains; frogs, mice Radioactive waste • This type of waste can lead to cell damage, cell death or the formation of abnormal cells.

• Examples: Uranium, cobalt-60, carbon-14, radium, polonium, iodine- 131 Volatile substances • This substance will lead to air pollution and is a hazard when breathed in by organisms.

• Example: Halogenic hydrocarbons, ether, kerosene, petrol Reactive substances • Reactive waste reacts easily with other substances.

• Examples: Sodium, potassium, calcium

Managing Biological Waste Substances

1. Biological waste refers to the waste substances that contain biological agents that may potentially cause harm to human life, flora and fauna as well as the environment.

2. “Bio” refers to living things. Biological wastes are wastes from living things. Examples include excretory products, tissue, carcasses, culture mediums, syringes, scalpel blades, gloves and others.

3. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the disposal of biological waste is the procedure that is used for the purpose of managing the biological waste substances, begins from the production of the waste until it is properly disposed of.

4. Biological waste can be divided into four categories as shown in Table 1.3.

3. A fire extinguisher is a device that is used to control or extinguish fire.

1.3 Fire Extinguisher Types of Fire Extinguishers

1. Fires can occur when there is fuel, oxygen and heat.

2. To extinguish a fire, one of the three must be eliminated.

4. There are four common types of fire extinguishers, classified based on the source of the fire.

5. Table 1.4 shows four types of fire extinguishers.

Foam

Cream

• Extinguishes flammable solids such as cloth, paper and wood • Water cools down the fire, thus removing the heat element, to extinguish the fire

• Extinguishes fire from combustible materials such as cloth, paper and wood and flammable liquids and gases such as oil, paint and natural gases.

• Foam, like water, has a cooling effect. Foam also creates a layer that separates the fire from its fuel.

Carbon dioxide

• Extinguishes fire from electrical equipment such as transformer boards, electrical appliances, gases and vapours

Black

• Carbon dioxide cuts off the oxygen supply to extinguish the fire.

Dry powder • Extinguishes all types of fire whether by metal or non-metal sources such as potassium, magnesium and sodium

Form

Blue

• Dry powder covers the fire and forms a layer between the fuel and oxygen

Explanation

Class A

Fires that involve combustible solids (except metals) such as wood, paper, cloth and rubbish.

• Water • Foam • Dry powder

Class B

Fires that involve flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, tar, varnish and paint

• Foam • Dry powder • Carbon dioxide

Class C

Fires that involve flammable gases or vapours such as LPG gas, LNG gas, oxygen and others

• Dry powder • Carbon dioxide

Class D

Fires that involve metallic fuels such as magnesium, • Dry powder aluminium, sodium, potassium and others

Class E Class F

Fires that involve electrical appliances

• Dry powder • Carbon dioxide

Fires that involve fats and oils

• Dry powder • Carbon dioxide

7. Another fire extinguisher that is commonly found in the laboratory is the ABC fire extinguisher. This type of fire extinguisher has a lot of advantages: (a) Can be used against all fire classes (particularly A, B and C), except Class D fires that result from metals. (b) Not harmful to human or animals (c) Does not pollute the soil (d) The moisture produced lasts longer (e) Minimal maintenance required (at least once a year) 8. Besides that, each laboratory must have at least one fire blanket.

9. Fire blankets are used to engulf the burning area. It is made by fire resistant textile with two layers of fibre glass. Fire blankets can: (a) Effectively put out small or medium sized fires (b) Save someone who catches on fire by wrapping around his body 10. Besides that, each laboratory must also have two pails of dry sand. These are used to put out small fires caused by burning metals.

2. In case of a fire, activate the fire alarm. Turn off all electrical switches. Evacuate the laboratory in an orderly manner.

3. In case a student catches fire, ensure that the student does not run about. Let the student lie down on the floor and use the fire blanket to cover his body. Do not pour water on the victim’s body or use a fire extinguisher on them.

SPM Tips How to use fire extinguishers easily with easy-to-remember PASS. P

Pull: Pull the safety pin

Sweep: Sweep the fire from left to right

Carrying Out an Audit on Fire Extinguishers at School

1. To ensure safety in the science laboratory, the fire extinguisher must always been maintained.

2. The equipment must be audited or checked regularly.

3. Running an audit on the fire extinguisher involves checking: (a) The expiry date of the fire extinguisher (b) Type of fire extinguisher

(c) Number of fire extinguishers (d) Location of fire extinguishers in the school’s emergency route plan (e) Pressure reading on the fire extinguishers 4. This audit must be carried out periodically and school staff should be aware of how to use and the location of each fire extinguisher so they could be used in case of an emergency.

5. Fire safety audits are compulsory in developed countries.

Biceps

Tendons Bone

• Joins muscle to bone.

• Tough, strong and inelastic strands of dense connective tissues.

• When the muscle contracts, tendons transmit force from muscles to bones, to pull the bones.

Ligament • Joins bone to bone.

• Flexible, strong and elastic connective tissue.

• Allows bones to move against one another and prevent the dislocation of joint during movement.

Triceps

The movement of the forearms (The action of antagonistic muscles) Bending the forearm

Straightening the forearm

Biceps Triceps

Tendon

Radius

Biceps Triceps

Tendon

Ulna

• The biceps muscle contracts and becomes shorter and thicker.

• At the same time, the triceps muscle relaxes and becomes thinner and longer.

• This exerts a pulling force which is transmitted to the radius through the tendon.

• The radius is pulled upwards and the forearm is bent.

Cartilage • Cushions the joint.

• Absorbs shock during movement.

• Reduces friction between the ends of the bones.

Cartilage

Ulna

• The triceps muscle contracts and the biceps muscle relaxes.

• A pulling force is produced which is transmitted to the ulna through the tendon.

• The ulna is pulled downwards and the forearm is straightened.

Bone Ligament Joint capsule Synovial fluid Synovial membrane

Synovial fluid • Acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between bones when joint moves.

• Provides nutrients to the cartilage.

Synovial membrane • Secretes synovial fluids into the synovial cavity.
