The Centers for Disease Control has a special Chemical Toxicant Laboratory (CTL) for handling very hazardous chemicals. It is designed to protect the workers, prevent the release of the chemical toxicant into the surrounding environment, and provide for the scientific integrity of the experiments conducted. A discussion of laboratory ventilation and special containment devices is presented. The design of the CTL, coupled with a realistic set of safety guidelines, provides for the safe conduct of research involving highly toxic chemicals.
