What Are the Safety Precautions When Handling Catalysts?
Safety is paramount when handling catalysts, as many are toxic, flammable, or otherwise hazardous. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats should always be worn. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area, preferably under a fume hood. Additionally, it's essential to be aware of the specific hazards associated with each catalyst by consulting the material safety data sheet (MSDS).
