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 EOP. |
