When handling zinc hydroxide in the laboratory, it’s important to follow these safety precautions:

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat to prevent skin and eye contact.
  2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhaling any dust or fumes that may be released.
  3. Avoid Ingestion and Inhalation: Do not ingest or inhale zinc hydroxide. Be cautious to avoid creating dust clouds and always use proper handling techniques.
  4. Storage: Store zinc hydroxide in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances, such as strong acids or bases, to prevent any potential reactions.
  5. Disposal: Dispose of zinc hydroxide waste according to local regulations and laboratory protocols. It should be treated as a chemical waste and not simply discarded with regular trash.
  6. Spill Response: In case of a spill, clean it up immediately using appropriate methods and dispose of the material as hazardous waste. Avoid creating dust and use proper containment and cleanup procedures.
