Handling LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen):
- Leidenfrost Effect: This phenomenon provides a layer of vapor between the skin and LN2, offering some protection against immediate frostbite. However, contact should still be minimized.
- Face Shields: While they might not be strictly necessary for physical protection from LN2 under most conditions, they offer a psychological comfort and an additional layer of safety against splashes or unexpected behavior of the liquid.
- Protect Hair and Clothes: It's crucial to cover hair and wear protective clothing to prevent cold burns. LN2 can cause severe frostbite if it comes into contact with skin or if clothing is soaked with it.
