A method comprising:
- Attaching a hydrophobic membrane comprised of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethersulfone, polypropylene, polycarbonate track etch, type 316 stainless steel, or polyester and having pores with a diameter no more than 0.2 microns to a vessel which is impermeable to heroin, marijuana, nitromethane liquid explosive, highly refined cocaine powder, toxic compounds, microorganisms, human bodily fluids/gases corresponding to diabetes, seizures, and cancers, endangered or invasive species scat, biohazard, infectious microorganisms, strong acids, urine, liquid methamphetamine, nitromethane, difficult solvents, acids, bases, alcohols;
- explosive powders and combinations thereof, and
- providing an enclosement mechanism which is impermeable to volatile organic compounds, liquids and solids.
A hazardous or toxic material containment device comprising:
- a) a hand-held container having a base, an opening, and an interior space, wherein the hand-held container is impermeable to hazardous material and impermeable to gases emitted by said hazardous material;
- b) a membrane having pores of one or more sizes wherein said membrane is attached to the opening of the hand-held container, wherein said membrane is impermeable to liquid and solid hazardous material contained within said hand-held container but permeable to gases emitted by said hazardous material contained within said hand-held container;
- and
- c) a cap removably attached to the opening of said container;
- and
- wherein said cap, said membrane, and said hand-held container are made of low outgassing materials.
