Good question George, I didn't fill in all the facts... The gloves she wore did not extend to the elbow. The material in fact dribbled from her gloves to her arm. She was wearing eye protection as well and I believe she as working in a fume hood but I'll have to verify that. -Russ Russell Vernon, Ph.D. Research Safety Environmental Health & Safety University of California, Riverside 900 University Ave Riverside, CA 92521 www.ehs.ucr.edu russell.vernon**At_Symbol_Here**ucr.edu Direct (951) 827-5119 Admin (951) 827-5528 Fax (951) 827-5122 -----Original Message----- From: DCHAS-L Discussion List [mailto:DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**list.uvm.edu] On Behalf Of George D.
