Question:

Where can you find information on how to properly dispose of a chemical solvent and the potential risks the solvent poses?

A MSDS/SDS.
explanation

Any chemical that is sold must have a safety data sheet (SDS), which must contain information about the physical product such as boiling point, melting point, flash point, etc., potential health risks, storage and disposal recommendations, and spill/leak procedures. With this knowledge, technicians and emergency professionals are better equipped to handle the product and deal with an emergency. Although in 2015, the term material safety data sheet (MSDS) was replaced with safety data sheet, you may still see it on the CompTIA A+ exam.
