I handle vapors of organometallic compounds everyday. dimethyl-X, trimethyl-X, tetramethyl-X and other long name OM compounds that can kill slowly or instantly. Recently theres HF vapors and today its a cyanide compound.
I'm lucky to still be alive!
- bmer 11y ago1) Why do you have to handle these compounds every day? (if it's for work, what sort of work (oh, and are you well compensated)? if it's for research, research on what? if it's for fun, why?) 2) What sort of personal protective gear do you have to use?
- virlirium 11y ago1) I'm a grad student working on MOCVD and ALD, so no I'm not well compensated :( 2) Not enough. Respirator, coats and gloves.
