Chemicals in small quantities

To those who are following the issue of obtaining and disposing of
chemicals in small quantities:  I contacted the Minnesota supplier
recommended by another poster.  In response I found out that they do
not serve companies or individuals outside of Minnesota, but they
did send me information about suppliers and exchangers of materials
in Massachusetts (below).  For those outside of MA, I recommend
contacting the Minnesota site and asking if they know of comparable
organizations in your state.

As for myself, I am currently in need of about a liter or two of 30%
hydrogen peroxide.  If anyone has surplus of this chemical and would
like to exchange or sell theirs, please do call 413 532 1046 or
email smwhitewhite<-a t->hotmail< . >com.
