What is the purpose of wearing gloves when handling radioactive isotopes?
I don't even need to answer this... obviously you don't need gloves.
Is rutherfordium harmful?
Rutherfordium is a synthetic element and its properties are not well-studied. However, it is expected to be highly radioactive and potentially harmful due to its radioactive decay. As with other radioactive elements, proper safety measures and handling protocols should be followed to minimize the risk of exposure.
Why are tweezers used when handling pH paper?
Tweezers are used so that no other chemicals or substances get onto the pH paper and change the correct result
What chemicals in science are bio-hazard?
<p>None. "Bio" as in "biological". Biohazardous waste, also called infectious waste or biomedical waste, is any waste containing infectious materials or potentially infectious substances such as blood. Of special concern are sharp wastes such as needles, blades, glass pipettes, and other wastes that can cause injury during handling <p>
When or how is a nuclear chain reaction caused by nuclear fission a problem to people?
It is not a problem if it is a controlled chain reaction and all safety measures are in place and used. The primary problem associated with nuclear energy relates to the handling and storage of radioactive waste. Of particular concern is spent or depleted fuel rods. Spent fuel rods are highly radioactive. It takes thousands of years for radioactivity levels of this material to decay to safe levels. Human exposure to such radioactive waste can cause serious health problems and even death. Therefore, radioactive waste, including fuel rods, must be stored in specialized containers. The storage must be secure to prevent theft and/or malicious tampering.
What are the safety precautions for handling toxic substances?
The safety precautions for handling toxic substances depend on the nature of the particular substances being handled.
Robots can take the place of humans in handling dangerous substances.?

What are the precautionary signs that are the important in handling substances?
irritant, harmful, harmful to environment, poison, flammable, corrosive
What merchant fees are charged by the Discovery card?
Some merchant fees charged could be shipping and handling fees to help offset cost to the company. Another fee charged by discovery card is processing.

Is copper safe handling?
Totally-it's not radioactive or anything. Old pennies are copper so is modern plumbing. if it wasn't safe, we'd all be in trouble.
