Spill Cleanup of Liquid Dispersion Controls

Operation
Clean up a liquid dispersion of engineered nanomaterials using
 

• Verify the hazard of the materials used in the dispersion (solvents and nanoparticles)
• Wet wiping (appropriate for the solvent in the dispersion)
• Other facility-approved methods that do not involve dry sweeping or the use of compressed air
• Dispose of used cleaning materials and wastes in accordance with the home Laboratory's hazardous-waste procedures."¹

Controls

• PPE should be used to minimize potential for dermal and eye exposure 
• Latex or nitrile clean room gloves
• Goggles or laboratory glasses
• Depending on the solvents used, verified respiratory controls

Alternatively, Control Banding  may be employed when more is known about material reactivity, exposure duration and material state.

Material Specific Controls

• Carbon Nanotubes
