HEALTH CONCERNS IN THE LABORATORY
Students enrolling in chemistry laboratory courses should be aware that a wide range
of substances is used. If a student has or suspects that a medical condition or health
problem exists or may come to exist which might be affected by being in a chemical
laboratory (e.g., allergies, chemical sensitivities, pregnancy, fainting, etc.), the student
should consult his or her personal physician. The student may also wish to consult
the University Health Care Unit. Your laboratory instructor cannot give you health
care advice, but should be informed appropriately of concerns and potential problems.
