Face Fit Testing [Jun 2010]
Although workplace legislation and Health and Safety practices vary from country to country, some technical aspects of respirator fitting are fairly consistent. This article highlights UK practices, which may also apply to other countries throughout the world.
Saving Your Skin - Choosing the Right Garment for the Hazard, Showers and Eyebaths [May 2010]
Each year hand and finger injuries typically cause more than one million US workers to visit a hospital for medical treatment. In 2008 alone, there were 137,020 Days Away From Work Cases in the US as a direct result of work-related hand and finger injuries.
Seams Ridiculous ... [Nov 2009]
Martin Lill of Lakeland Industries looks at the whole issue of seam structure for disposable chemical protective garments.
Cut & Puncture Protective Gloves [Nov 2009]
Protective gloves represent one of the most common and most often used measures of personal protective equipment. Their role is to protect hands against various hazards, including, among others, thermal, mechanical, chemical, biological and electric ones, often combined, thus imposing onto the gloves the requirement of multiple protection.
Glove Powder - Friend or Foe? The Hazards Associated with Powdered Gloves [Nov 2009]
Powdered disposable gloves have been a constant feature of our daily life in the laboratory, although increasingly they are being replaced by powder-free gloves. For those of us that have used powdered gloves for many years, the transition to powder free may represent a retrograde step. Powdered gloves are easy to don and even better with prolonged use we do not get the same sweaty sensation as we do with powder-free gloves. Therefore what are the facts surrounding this shift to powder-free gloves and why might it be beneficial for those working in a laboratory.

Spectroscopic Techniques [Jun 2009]
Nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.)
Introduction
In n.m.r. a radio frequency is applied to the substance of interest together with a progressively increasing magnetic field. When the magnetic field is such that the separation of the energy levels it induces corresponds to the energy of a photon of the applied radiation there will be absorption of the radiation and therefore a signal. Nuclei in chemical compounds are not ‘bare’, and the molecular environment of a nucleus influences the spacing of the energy levels and hence the magnitude of the field at which a signal will occur. This is called chemical shift and is of the order of parts per million of the applied field.
Dry Chemical Odour Scrubbers [Sep 2008]
The principle of distributed odour control
Dry chemical scrubbers are uniquely suited for use in collection system pump stations and in waste water treatment plants for the control of odours. They are inherently simple in their operation and function continuously without operator attention for extended periods of time. This type of scrubber, through the use of specialised gas-phase or dry-scrubbing air filtration media types(medias), is essentially able to achieve the complete removal of odours without the need for additional dilution air.
Getting the Measure of Methane [Jan 2008]
Geotech looks at the world of biogas with focus through two case studies
Methane makes money. It generates energy revenues, carbon credits and is part of bio-treatment sludge processing. In most of the world it has only just begun. Measuring what we are doing and being responsible with this potentially damaging greenhouse gas makes good sense.

Far REACHing Objectives [Oct 2007]
The New European Chemicals Regulation
How do you objectively assess the risk of a chemical? Ever tried to compare safety data sheets on the same substance from different suppliers? What are the risk management measures you need when using a chemical in your factory? What should you do to minimise the environmental impact of a chemical when it leaves your site? Who really decides what constitutes an acceptable risk of using a chemical? Are chemical users across Europe playing on a level playing field and just where did those lists of banned chemicals come from?
Streamlining Regulations [Sep 2007]
Control of the use and disposal of chemicals
REACH is the EU Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals which entered into force on 1 June 2007. It places duties on all manufacturers, importers and users of chemicals in the European Union, and is aimed at ensuring adequate control of risks to humans and the environment from the manufacture, use and disposal of chemicals.

The Unseen Threat of VOCs [Mar 2005]
How photoionisation detection is used for worker protection, fenceline monitoring and environmental remediation.
Organic compounds are chemicals that contain carbon and are found in all living things. Volatile organic compounds, often referred to as VOCs, are organic compounds that easily become vapours or gases.
