Discussion

These images, created for the April 2002 cover of the Journal of Chemical Education, show a number of unsafe conditions in a chemistry laboratory. Also included are images showing the lab before chemicals are placed on the shelves, and with a set of containers of chemicals on the shelves. They could be used to create instructional materials in a variety of ways. For example, other images of chemicals and equipment could be superimposed. Before and after pictures could be created.
