We report here on typical chemical storage scenarios in residential, commercial, and public spaces. We commonly found that storage of paints, thinners, solvents, and similar materials is a “known hazard”, but one which the public knows little about. Our analysis suggests ways in which the long-term storage of such materials can be improved from a safety standpoint, and as well, ways in which safe disposal can be presented to the average householder, workshop manager, or shopkeeper.<br/>
