What are the safety measures for Adsorption of Magnetite projects?
metallurgy:
We plan to make a project (Phd) of Magnetite's Adsorption for metals on wastewater. Which measures should I take in the lab?
I have an allergy to chemicals and their vapor, is this kind of project would be a hazardous environment?

This is kind of like saying you're allergic to food. Yes, but which ones? Nobody is allergic to all chemicals. It's impossible, insofar as it's not even clear what the definition of a chemical is.

Well, the chemicals or lab. atmosphere that cause respiratory problems. I can't say a specific one/s. But mostly hazardous chemicals.
wildfyr:
You're doing a PhD in a chemistry adjacent field and you think you're allergic in general to hazardous chemicals?
Even saying you're allergic to hazardous chemical is gibberish. Hazards are classified in many ways. Some chemicals would be safe to eat, but like to explode. Others are highly carcinogenic but would not cause any immediate ill effects. Some cause bad burns at high concentration, but at low concentrations are totally harmless.
Are you saying that if you walk into an active chemistry lab, in general, it causes you difficulty breathing, hives, etc?

No, it's Phd in metallurgy&materials engineering. But the assistant professor's specialty is in nanomaterials&chem.

Exactly. That's why I want to choose harmless projects, thesis.
