Småkemikalier
Swedish to English

Laboratory waste management
Hello
I've got my definition of what I want but what is it in English. I think the "small" bit is simply 'cos it is about laboratories that have such waste in small quantities (but I'm not sure about that)
***Småkemikalier***, fast och flytande
Chemicals, small containers, solid and liquid
***Småkemikalie*** är ett brett begrepp för en rad ämnen med farliga egenskaper såsom explosiva, självantändande, brandfarliga, brandfarliga vid kontakt med vatten, oxiderande, giftiga eller på annat sätt kan åsamka skada. Behörig kemist skall alltid tillsammans med kunden inventera de kemikalier som sorteras ut och därefter finna fram till lämpliga kärl och sorteringsinstruktioner.
Thanks

small chemicals
Perhaps a literal translation will work, though I don't recall the smallness idea from the big shots who used to 'teach' chemistry at my school.
Example sentence:
Small chemicals (SCs) can interfere with any cell type or function of the immune system. SCs are ubiquitous as food components, life-style products or *environmental pollutants*.
Small molecules as friends and foes of the immune system

Note from asker:
Hello Unfortunately, it seems in English that the toxic effects of "small chemicals" in English are often used in medicine. The English term does not mean the same as the Swedish term where these chemicals can also be explosive or corrosive for instance |
