Safety is paramount in nanotechnology labs due to the potential hazards associated with handling nanomaterials. Safety measures include:
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Such as gloves, lab coats, and safety goggles. - Fume Hoods and Ventilation Systems: To safely handle and dispose of volatile substances. - Training Programs: For lab personnel to ensure they are knowledgeable about safe handling procedures and emergency protocols. - Waste Disposal Systems: For the safe disposal of nanomaterial waste.
