Low Threshold Materials
The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards define chemicals of interest that may be used for terrorism purposes. If University facilities contain these chemicals in quantities that exceed defined thresholds, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must be notified and additional security measures may be required. The following list of chemicals have low reporting thresholds. If you currently possess any of the chemicals listed below and have no further use for them, please dispose of them by submitting a regulated waste pickup request.
