        If the gloves are nitrile they sometimes can have a nasty sulfur odor that doesn’t wash off easily.

          Never had a sulfur odor from nitrile gloves, and I’ve used them exclusively for my 15 year chemistry career.

            It depends on the quality of the glove. Nitrile is vulcanized, and if the sulfur compounds aren’t sufficiently removed afterwards, the gloves stink. I’ve tested several different gloves from different manufacturers via FTIR (trying to choose one for cleanroom use), you almost always see some amount of sulfate in the extractable residue. Some you can tell are shit just by the smell when you open the bagging.

              My lab/department always uses Kimberly Clark, they’ve never caused a sulfur issue for us, though I admit I’ve never done FTIR or IMS on them, so maybe they do give off minute amounts.

            I’m not super familiar with other glove materials, they may have similar issues.

                Not washing your hands or changing your gloves is definitely nasty! Regardless of what the gloves add to the mix…
