Got to stick my nose in here, if you research it, you
will find that
concentrated solutions of methylene chloride are a confirmed
carcinogenic.
I'm sure... I didn't get a chance to check the Merck Manual... tonight's
lab was just too complex and annoying... the instructor added steps
to the already documented procedure, as well as modified others... and
since it was a two-part lab (part I having been done the night I missed
it for observing seder with my partner), I didn't have anything I needed
which was produced during step I... so my lab partner and I had to do
it tonight... <sigh>
That said, I would still use it (if available), use
gloves and put a fan
to blow the fumes away from me during assembly. But then, I do this kind
of stuff every day. My job.
Absolutely...
Just be careful. Your too good to lose.
Thanks...
