How can researchers protect themselves when working with nanomaterials?
Researchers should adhere to strict safety protocols when handling nanomaterials. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, lab coats, and eye protection. Utilizing fume hoods or other ventilation systems can help reduce inhalation risks. It is also important to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for handling, storage, and disposal of nanomaterials to minimize exposure and contamination.
