The Lancet published a comprehensive assessment and study of the dangers of alcohol. The researchers gave a minimum health-damaging alcohol intake of -0.
Alcohol has a wide range of uses in the chemical industry, medical health, food industry, agricultural production, and other fields. It is also known as ethanol, which is a kind of alcohol.
Alcohols are widely used in the production of other organic products, as disinfectants/cleaners, and as organic solvents and fuels. Common alcohols include methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and n-butanol. In experimental operation, it is also widely used in mixing, pipetting, chromatographic analysis, extraction, dilution, cleaning, and other experiments.
As a low-toxicity chemical, the harm of alcohol is often ignored by people! However, it has a wide range of applications and is volatile. Everyday inhalation of low concentrations of chemicals without any alert can lead to the cumulative threat to the occupational health of laboratory personnel!
The occupational exposure limit of chemicals PC-TWA*, mainly for medium and long-term hazards.
*Time Weighted average acceptable concentration PC-TWA: The average acceptable exposure concentration of 8h working days and 40h working weeks specified with time as the weight.
▲Methanol: 25mg/m³
▲Ethanol: 1900mg/m³
▲Isopropyl alcohol: 350mg/m³
▲N-butanol: 100mg/m³
Now that we know the hazards and characteristics of alcohol chemicals, how can we ensure the safety of laboratory personnel in daily laboratory operations?
— Erlab filtration technology —
▲ Absorbs more than 700 common chemical substances
▲ The adsorption capacity of the filter is greatly improved
▲ Guarantee that there is no risk of desorption below 180 ° C
▲Tailor suitability and filter life safety assessment services to the actual situation of each laboratory
Safe Operation & Safe Storage
Erlab ductless filtering fume hood
From the source purification of volatile alcohol chemicals in the experimental operation, safe and flexible, energy saving and environmental protection!
Erlab filtering storage cabinet
The alcohol chemicals volatilized during source purification storage are safely stored nearby, and easy to take, and the air in the laboratory is continuously purified for 24 hours.
When working in the laboratory, safety and environmental awareness are very important, do not ignore the potential risks, and strengthen prevention. Erlab will be with you to create a safe and secure laboratory work environment.
