How to ensure safety in a nanotechnology laboratory?
Safety in a nanotechnology laboratory involves multiple layers of protocols:
1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use of appropriate PPE such as gloves, lab coats, and respiratory protection when handling nanomaterials. 2. Ventilation Systems: Implementation of advanced ventilation systems to manage airborne nanoparticles. 3. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Establishing and following strict SOPs for handling, storage, and disposal of nanomaterials. 4. Spill Response Plans: Preparing and training staff on immediate response plans for accidental spills.
