Using Bromine
|
We use Bromine solutions several
times in this lab during the semester. It is important to follow the safety
protocols to avoid exposure to bromine. 1. You must
always wear gloves when handling a container that has bromine in it. Make
sure that you check your gloves after you handle that container to ensure
that no bromine has gotten on them. If they have been exposed, change the
gloves immediately. 2. If you
have been exposed to bromine on your skin, rinse the area thoroughly with
water for 15 minutes. 3. If you
have a small bromine spill, you must rinse the area with sodium thiosulfate
solution and refer to the spill EOS. |
