| Summary: |
These lab safety guidelines implement stringent controls on exposure, which should be continued until more knowledge becomes available regarding nanomaterial safety. Among the recommendations are: Skin contact should be avoided; good general laboratory safety practices should be used; respiratory protection should be used if handling powders outside of a filtered fume hood; evaluate equipment for prior contamination; consider the explosive reactivity of certain nanomaterials; and follow hazardous chemical waste guidelines in disposing of nanomaterials. |
