What are the Safety Measures for Handling Trichloroacetic Acid?
When handling trichloroacetic acid, safety measures are essential to prevent exposure and minimize health risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats should be worn. Work with TCA should be conducted in well-ventilated areas or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. In case of skin or eye contact, affected areas should be rinsed immediately with water, and medical attention should be sought if necessary.
