Question: do you work with chemicals

Emma Bennett answered on 16 Jun 2011:

Yes all the time, often quite dangerous ones too. A lot of work my is done in fume hoods so that I don’t breath in the vapour from the chemicals as it could make me quite ill or even knock me out! For example one chemical I use a lot can dissolve certain types of plastic, eeeek, and other ones are really carcinogenic – can cause cancer. So you have to be very careful when handling stuff like this – I reckon that amongst my friends I must have one of the most dangerous jobs because of all the chemicals I use!
