Carbon disulfide (CS₂) is a colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, ether-like odor. It is highly flammable and used primarily as a solvent in industrial processes, such as extracting fats and oils from seeds, and in the production of viscose rayon and cellophane. Carbon disulfide is also used in the manufacture of pesticides and rubber. However, it is toxic and can pose significant health risks, including neurological damage, if proper safety precautions are not followed.

When working with carbon disulfide, follow these safety precautions:

  1. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area, preferably in a fume hood, to avoid inhaling fumes.
  2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Gloves: Wear appropriate chemical-resistant gloves.
    • Safety Goggles: Use eye protection to prevent splashes from getting into your eyes.
    • Lab Coat: Wear a lab coat to protect your skin and clothing.
  3. Fire Safety: Carbon disulfide is highly flammable. Keep it away from open flames, sparks, and heat sources. Store it in a cool, dry place with proper labeling.
  4. Storage: Store carbon disulfide in tightly sealed containers and in a well-ventilated storage area away from incompatible materials.
  5. Handling: Avoid direct contact with the liquid. Use appropriate tools and techniques for transferring it to minimize spills.
  6. Spill Response: In case of a spill, evacuate the area and follow your institution’s spill response procedures. Use non-reactive absorbents and dispose of waste according to safety guidelines.
  7. First Aid: In case of exposure:
    • Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately and seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
    • Skin Contact: Wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation occurs.
    • Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
    • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
