| Summary: |
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has created this list of best practices for handling nanomaterials based upon the recommendations of other universities. These practices include knowing the existing toxicity information, preplanning experiments, preventing inhalation exposure, preventing dermal exposure, using eye protection, using signage, being aware of fire/explosion hazards, preventing contamination of laboratory surfaces, spill cleanup, nanomaterial waste management, transporation of nanomaterials off-site, and monitoring exposure. |
