RightCycle - first shipment net weight and winner of lawn chair
by Nagy, Gabriela 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Hello everyone, Last month on September 16 we shipped our first RightCycle gaylord full of safety gloves collected in our labs since we joined the program on October 25, 2023. With this shipment we diverted an impressive 642 pounds of safety gloves from landfill! Thank you to all researchers who contributed to this achievement! During the "Fit&Fill for safety gloves" event on September 4 we had the full gaylord on display in the atrium and participants were encouraged to guess the total net weight of the gloves for a chance to win a lawn chair made of plastic form recycled gloves, provided by Ansell for this activity. I am happy to announce that the winner of the chair is Neresh Dhanwani, whose guess of 700 pounds is the closest to the actual weight (642 pounds). Congratulations, Naresh! Thank you all for your efforts in increasing sustainability in our labs!

Clarification on building evacuation earlier today
by Nagy, Gabriela 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hello everyone, The reason for the fire alarm activation and building evacuation earlier today was that in a lab on 3rd floor (new wing) one of the valves on a liquid nitrogen (LN2) tank froze open and sent an uncontrolled volume of nitrogen (N2) into the room. Nitrogen is a known asphyxiant, and at the time when the researcher decided to activate the fire alarm there was a blanket of N2 vapor of about 1 ft. in the lab, and the valve could not be closed. EHS also responded to the incident, but by the time they arrived to the lab the LN2 tank had emptied and the ice around the hose and valves started to melt. The LN2 tank will need to be serviced and cleared for use by Indiana Oxygen before it can be used again. I recommend to visually inspect the valve on the LN2 tank EVERY TIME before planning on opening it to fill a dewar. Any sign of ice is an alarm that the valve might be frozen closed or might freeze open upon opening. Use a piece of cloth, or the heat gun to free the valve from any ice and make it safe to operate before using it. A note could be added to the tank to remind people I recommend adding a note on the LN2 tank, to remind users of this. Never use a wrench, or hammer, or any hard object to try to free a frozen valve on a LN2 tank. Instead, always use a warm cloth, or a heat gun to slowly warm up the valve and free it from ice. Thank you, Gabriela __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
