Subject: Re: Ethylene Oxide use in a research lab?
Comments: To: JBenedik**At_Symbol_Here**UWYO.EDU
For all such question as this, I suggest reading labels and MSDSs. After
both reading, and understanding, the label and the MSDS, you will then
know the precautions to be incorporated into your use and handling of the
chemical.
If you find the MDSD difficult to understand, or believe it to be
inadequate, then raise a bit of H___ with the supplier of the chemical
until you are informed of what you find to be missing in the MSDS and/or
label.
