Safety Precautions
Working in the hood. Standard PPE.
End Product Safety
There might be safety concerns with the production of ethanol and biodiesel in large quantities, as both of these products are flammable. The volumes and concentrations of these compounds that were used, produced, and tested in our laboratory environment were small enough to not pose a hazard. If the process is moved to a larger scale, the process will have to go under the same safety processes and regulations that normal ethanol and fuel production processes undergo.
