      No, I don’t work with anything toxic in my research.

      I work with a few, the main one being arsenic which is really toxic to humans. I’ve also worked with nickel oxide and nickel compounds in the past, which are also toxic and are capable of causing cancer. The good thing about science though is we take a lot of precautions to minimise the dangers of working with toxic chemicals like these!
