Recently 62 laboratories within Texas Tech's College of Agriculture Sciences and Natural Resources were surveyed by Tech's Environmental Health and Safety Department. The surveys are conducted at least two times a year to ensure the labs are in compliance with university and federal guidelines for lab safety.
The Texas Alliance for Water Conservation, a research project made up of producers, industries, universities, and government agencies, has received a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality 'Texas Environmental Excellence Award.' The recognition, which in this case was presented in the agriculture category, is part of an effort to bring attention to the most innovative and effective projects that strive to protect the state's natural resources, officials said in making today's announcement.
