Hi Ralph, This is kind of interesting. I'm curious as to why you are asking. It was n't long ago people started asking the same questions about biolabs. Is th is something that has come off the tails of the recent incidents at UCLA, T exas Tech and TAMU? The biolab question was after there were a few incidents and I believe some one in congress asked the questions of how many BSL3 labs there were out th ere and at the time there wasn't a good answer. The reality is many organizations, especially in universities, do not have a true lab registration program or process. Something definitely needed.

A random question that someone in DCHAS might be able to help with: Anyone know of a source of information for how many research laboratories t here are in the U.S.? And what percent of these are chemistry department laboratories as opposed to related sciences that use chemicals? I recognize the answers will depends to a large extent on how many of the w ords above are defined, but pointers to any sources of systematic numbers r elated to these questions would be appreciated. Thanks for any help with this. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
