Acid and alkaline solution:
- Must be handled with care as these can cause the same amount of damage or effects to our health as the chemicals mentioned before.
- Safety glasses must be worn when dealing with acids and/or alkaline solution.
- Working under a fume hood or well ventilated area/space is highly recommended as inhaling the fumes is extremely dangerous.
- Acid/Alkaline or Corrosion resistant equipment must be used when handling these types of chemicals. (e.g. Butyl gloves is generally used when handling very strong bases or acids)
- Bottles or flasks of chemicals should be carried by securely grasping the body of the container rather than the neck.
