Hazards with FIAS and mercury hydride systems

Toxic products:
Toxic metal vapors, etc., can be generated by the system, depending on the type
of analyses being performed.

You must provide an efficient laboratory ventilation system to remove toxic
products generated during instrument operation.
High temperatures:
The QTA-cell used for the hydride-generation technique can reach temperatures
of up to 1000 C.

Do not touch any part of the heating mantle (electrically heated systems), or
the cell holder (flame-heated systems), or the QTA-cell until they have cooled
to room temperature.
Hazardous chemicals:
Some of the chemicals required for analyses are corrosive and/or toxic.

Refer to the information under Safe Handling of Chemicals and to the specific
warnings in the documentation provided with the system before you start an
analysis.
