Dear Netters,

I recently visited a large histology research laboratory where they mix
deionized salt (yes, Morton's table salt) with their Silver Nitrate
waste and dump it down the drain.  They swear that it neutralizes the
Silver Nitrate waste.  Is this true?  Does anyone else use this
"protocol".  I look forward to your responses.

Sincerely,

Tom Galati
