This Virtual Special Issue will expand the reach of US national laboratories and provide an opportunity to share their efforts with the global scientific community. Submit your manuscript by October 31, 2024.
The work of the National Laboratories is at the forefront of innovation and the cutting edge of technical capabilities. In the Labs’ never-ending quest to learn more, understand better, and advance scientific discovery further, this VSI seeks to glean safety insights from individuals across the U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories network—from both the professionals with safety in their job titles and those creating safety in their day-to-day work.
This Virtual Special Issue from ACS Chemical Health & Safety is for those performing work at the Laboratories to share their stories of challenges, successes, and learnings with the larger scientific community—to make outsiders into insiders – as we continue along this safety journey together.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Fundamental chemical safety research and datasets
- Chemical health safety and security warnings
- Chemical risk assessment and management for all settings
