What Are the Safety Considerations When Diluting Toxic Substances?
Safety is paramount when diluting toxic substances. It is essential to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats to prevent exposure. The process should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. Proper labeling and storage of diluted solutions are also critical to prevent accidental exposure or ingestion.
