What’s wrong with these pictures?

You have looked up the hazards of the chemicals you will be using in a particular lab, and found out that they are mild health hazards, requiring you to avoid skin contact and vapor inhalation. Therefore, when in lab you should:

a. wear short shorts and sandals b. wear long pants, closed toed shoes, and a

lab apronc. wear gloves d. b and ce. a and c
