Fadare Oluniyi:

You do not say where this school is located; this is a factor in determining
"regulatory restrictions".  I agree with Dr. Young; this is a long "laundry
list" of information you have requested; a hazardous materials consultant
would be best able to answer your questions due to the time requirements.
That said, you have several potentially explosive chemicals on your list and
I would recommend the chemicals be well secured.
