Scientists at universities across Iraq are actively working to report actual incidents and accidents occurring in their laboratories order raise awareness encourage openness, leading widespread adoption of robust Chemical Safety Security (CSS) practices. In this study, we describe a serious event that resulted postgraduate student sustaining injuries when the biological safety cabinet (BSC) she was using exploded. Of particular note, paper highlights how combination failures deficiencies...
The improvement of students’ awareness concepts in science and its uses, practical scientific abilities considerate how scientists effort laboratory experiences have been considered key aspects education for over 100 years. Facility requirements the necessary level safety security combined with specific relevant to course be conducted dictate fundamental strategy a lab, procedure need address both. This manuscript is second series five case studies describing incidents, accidents,...
2-Benzylbenzimidazoles, or "nitazenes", are a class of novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) that increasingly being detected alongside fentanyl analogs and other in drug overdose cases. Nitazenes can be 20× more potent than but not routinely tested for during postmortem clinical toxicology screens; thus, their prevalence cases may under-reported. Traditional analytical workflows utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) often require additional confirmation with authentic...
Scientists at universities across Iraq are actively working to report actual incidents and accidents occurring in their laboratories, as well structural improvements made improve safety security, raise awareness encourage openness, leading widespread adoption of robust Chemical Safety Security (CSS) practices. This manuscript highlights the importance periodic maintenance on fume cupboards, is fourth a series five case studies describing laboratory incidents, accidents, improvements. In this...
Since 1997, when the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) entered into force and Organisation for Prohibition of (OPCW) was established, >97% world's declared stockpile, comprising 70,372 t chemical warfare agents, has been destroyed. Despite this notable progress, advances in synthesis bring new challenges to preventing weapons production. The development ethical codes or guidelines such as Hague Ethical Guidelines Global Chemists' Code Ethics (GCCE) their voluntary adoption by practitioners...
In 2020, the Department of Energy established National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory (NVBL) to address key challenges associated with COVID-19. As part that effort, Pacific Northwest (PNNL) a capability collect and analyze specimens from employees who self-reported symptoms consistent disease. During spring fall 2021, 688 were screened for SARS-CoV-2, 64 (9.3%) testing positive using reverse-transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Of these, 36 samples released research. All research...
