rubber or plastic gloves).
6. Ventilate the room.

Arrangements for disposal
The ZnSe dust and the lens must be collected and disposed of as hazardous waste.
They must be placed in hermetically sealed containers or plastic bags together with
the fragments, brush, shovel and protective clothing used in the operation.
Never dispose of optical components with household waste. And do not allow them to
enter drains or water circuits.
The equipment must be disposed of at an appropriate collection point for processing,
