I am very glad to hear that you care about your safety. I still think it is not a good idea to take a lab coat home, as I already stated, I do not think it is a good idea to remove it from the lab in the first place. I believe that is negligent. But this discussion should not happen in the comments section, if you would like to continue talking about it, I can be found in Chemistry Chat. | |

Sep 7, 2015 at 4:03 | comment | added | Martin - マーチン♦ | @Karl You might want to write that up as a separate answer. I disagree, that you should ever wash your lab coat yourself. I think it is negligent to take it out of a lab in some other way than a trash bag. | |

Sep 6, 2015 at 12:54 | comment | added | Karl | It's a bad idea to not wash a lab coat. You wash your fingers, hair, glassware etc., but want to wear a coat that inevitably gets contaminated with something for a year? And i don't just mean obvious colourful spills. Have your head of lab organise the washing, by all means, but if that's not possible: Put it in a cotton bag, carry that to your home washing machine, put it in there yourself, just the coat, and let it run at 90°C. And then find yourself a better workplace. | |
