When handling succinic acid in laboratory settings, it’s important to observe the following safety precautions:

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat to protect skin and eyes from contact with the acid.
  2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to minimize inhalation of fumes or dust particles.
  3. Handling: Avoid direct contact with skin or eyes. In case of contact, immediately rinse affected area with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
  4. Storage: Store succinic acid in a cool, dry place away from heat and incompatible materials. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent spills or contamination.
  5. Spills and Cleanup: In case of spills, absorb the acid with inert absorbent material (e.g., vermiculite or sand) and place in a suitable container for disposal according to local regulations.
  6. Disposal: Dispose of succinic acid and contaminated materials in accordance with local regulations and guidelines for hazardous waste disposal.
