Nanomaterial Information

  1. Indicate the type(s) of nanomaterials used. (i.e. carbon nanotubes)

  2. Are nanomaterials created in the FSU laboratory from bulk material? Provide details.

  3. Are nanomaterials purchased from a vendor? Provide the name and amount purchased.

  4. How often are nanomaterials purchased? (i.e. weekly, monthly, annually, etc.)

  5. What is the approximate amount of nanomaterials handled in a month, if known? (i.e. ug, mg, g)

 
Procedures

Please provide a brief description of nanomaterial use. Indicate whether a solvent or other chemical matrix is used and the type.
 
Waste Disposal and Safety Information

  1. Specify the type of waste that is generated during laboratory procedures. (i.e. solid, liquid, mixed)

  2. Indicate method of nanomaterials waste disposal and approximate amount of waste generated in a month.

  3. Specify the type of “mixed waste” (i.e. radioactive, chemical, biological) that is generated during experimental procedures.

  4. Indicate method of “mixed waste” disposal and approximate amount generated in a month.

  5. Are there currently any written safety protocols or procedures established for handling nanomaterials?

  6. Are use areas cleaned following each procedure? If so, indicate method
