What Safety Measures are Essential in Nanotechnology Labs?
Working with nanomaterials requires stringent safety protocols due to their potential health risks:
Personal protective equipment (PPE): Includes lab coats, gloves, and eye protection to minimize exposure. Ventilation: Proper laboratory ventilation systems such as fume hoods to prevent inhalation of nanoparticles. Waste disposal: Safe disposal methods for nanomaterial waste to prevent environmental contamination. Training: Regular training for lab personnel on the handling and disposal of nanomaterials.
