Substance Quantity And Emergency Procedures: Case Study

This product must be diluted according to instructions to ensure maximum effectiveness. Taking Willard Water without following proper diluting instructions is not recommended.

Due to the microquantities being used, all chemicals will be disposed up with running water. Gloves, an apron, and splash goggles will be used to protect the eyes and skin.

Wash hands, place on lab coat, and disinfect work area with the ten percent bleach.

Personal Protection-Readily absorbed through skin. Very destructive of mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Severe irritant. Sublimes at room temperature to yield dangerous levels of vapour. May cause sensitization. May cause damage to the unborn child.

Most labs should have a shower for any big chemical spills. There is also an eye rinse station you should use. To use it, just hold open your eyes so the can get water in them. It is very important not to close your eyes while doing this.

Before starting this practical ensure you have sufficient PPE including lab coat, safety goggles and latex gloves.

○ Wash the infected area and dry it completely before applying the cream or ointment.

pH - pH can affect the structure of a membrane and therefore cause it to be unable to function efficiently. The pH's, which cause this affect, would be those that are acid or alkaline. Therefore we must use water as our substance as it has a pH 7 and this is neutral and will have no affect on the leakage of pigment.

The result was small white crystals, which were dry and had barely contained any moisture. The product was then dissolved in methylene chloride and dried with granular anhydrous sodium sulfate. The drying agent would have removed any water in the solution and presented a colorless solution. The solvent was evaporated and the product was collected; it had the appearance of small, white solids. Data Table 2 shows the results and calculations that were gathered after the completion of this experiment. A boiling point of the product was found to be 210℃. According to literature, the boiling of isoborneol should be 212℃. As a result, the product is most likely isoborneol. No errors had occurred during the course of the experiment, which is testified by the high yield of

The eye should be gently wiped with gauze squares from the inner to the outer canthus to remove any particles before proceeding with the irrigation.

Give the mix water with antiseptic, then rinse with a clean dry cloth. Do carefully and then apply a cream that has been given by your doctor or pharmacist.

If the compound is inhaled, breathe in fresh air; further medical attention may be necessary if symptoms are more severe. Ingestion will not likely have serious symptoms, but if such symptoms do develop, seek further medical attention. If the compound comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and water, and if it comes in contact with eyes immediately wash eyes with water for 15 minutes. Potassium chloride may be toxic to blood with prolonged exposure.3

Sodium carbonate can cause irritation if in contact with skin, eyes or inhaled into lungs. In case of contact, area of contact must be bared and rinsed with cold water immedetialy (at least 15 minutes for eyes). If inhaled then one must be removed to fresh air. Upon ingestion, one must loosen clothes and not induce vomitting. In case of extreme symptoms, professional help must be sought.

The towel you placed under the affected area should absorb any excess cleaner. You only need to bolt away the excess cleaner if you didn't put a towel under the affected area. If you do need to bolt away the excess cleaner, do it as gently as possible.

When chemicals meet the bodies skin barrier, they can be absorbed into the blood system. Once absorbed, they may produce systemic damage to not only the dermis, but also the bodies internal organs. “Chemical exposure that may have been spilled onto the skin can be reduced in many instances, depending on the chemical, concentration and rate of exposure” (Richards & Bourgeois, 2014, p. 417). Dependent on the chemical, washing the affected skin with soap and water may dilute the chemical and reduce exposure. “Shortened exposure time coupled with dilution reduces the amount absorbed. This process is commonly known as decontamination” (Richards & Bourgeois, 2014, p. 417).
