Hazardous Materials & Waste
The CNS Clean Room
The clean room uses a number of hazardous materials including corrosives (acid & bases), solvents, oxidizers, and toxic and flammable gases. These hazardous substances pose both physical and chemical hazards to personnel.
Specific training is required to enter the clean room. You must see CNS administrator for details (phone 617-384-7411 room 306).
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's)
Follow directions for proper use, storage, handling, etc. as directed on the container label and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). MSDS's are available for all hazardous substances onsite as part of Harvard University's Chemical Hygiene program. MSDS's for just the CNS locations (clean room and surrounding ground floor labs and the imaging suites and prep lab) can be found on the CNS website under the Safety section under the MSDS library. Hard copies of the CNS MSDS's are also located in the Fire Command Center in the front lobby of LISE. EHS Officer may be contacted for copies or any questions related to MSDS's at 495-1290. Non-CNS MSDS's can be found on the Harvard's EHS website http://www.uos.harvard.edu/ehs/.
