To ensure safe handling of nanomaterials, the following protocols are recommended:
1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use appropriate PPE such as gloves, lab coats, and respirators to minimize exposure. 2. Ventilation and Containment: Employ proper ventilation systems and containment strategies to control airborne nanoparticles. 3. Training and Education: Provide comprehensive training for workers on the safe handling and disposal of nanomaterials. 4. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Develop and adhere to SOPs that outline safe practices in the laboratory and production environments.
