Water
$lw2\ep#Fr;{0Using water unnecessarily in laboratories is not only a waste, it reflects poorly on staff and is a bad example for others. Use of water in water aspirators and for cooling (water used once and run to waste) should be discontinued.
Policies and practices for immediate clean up of water spills should be implemented.
