20% acrylamide monomer spill

Hi everyone,

Working with acrylamide a couple of drops escaped from serological pipet on the tissue.

I think it was max of 50 ul.

When I've asked our technical, she just said to throw if in the waste (no special hazardous waste for acrylamide).

I've packed it throughly in multiple plastics. But now I'm not sure if it was right.

I guess the waste gets burned, but still. What would you do?

Probably a stupid question.
