Many schools will require the use of personal
protective equipment, such as gloves.
However, cream-colored latex gloves
(see photo) are no longer recommended (due to allergic responses).
"Vinyl" gloves or "nitrile" gloves
(often green or blue in color) are preferred.
For even more dangerous liquids, thick
"nitrile" gloves should be used. These are very safe, but heavy and ungainly.
Also, they become slick, when wet, and it is easy to drop things.
You probably will not use
dangerous materials in high school.
