Hi everyone,

I’d like to know if anyone has dealt with the demolition of a lab and removal of a fume hood in which osmium tetroxide was used? Other than recommending respiratory protection (N100 or P100 cartridges), nitrile gloves and coveralls during tear-out, are there any other precautions we should keep in mind?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Ellen
