Book Description
Study to review the occupational health concerns of workers exposed to waste anesthetic gases in hospitals and determine whether the findings in the liturature are supported; to review the waste anesthetic gas exposure levels in Ontario hospitals; and to recommend corrective measures to control workers' exposure. The study was conducted from 1981-85 through a questionnaire survey in 100 hospitals throughout Ontario. A walk-through survey of all locations of potential exposure was conducted by an industrial hygienist in a representative sample of 74 hospitals providing surgical services. Air sampling was conducted, observing operating room protocol, and including long-term air sampling for halocarbon vapours (halothane, enflurane and isoflurane), and nitrous oxide sampling by direct reading instruments. The industrial hygiene assessments included an evaluation of the mechanical dilution ventilation, the scavenging system and documentation of the equipment used to administer anesthesia at the time of the assessment.

Book Description
The standard applies to all workers, who are exposed to inhalation anesthetic agents that escape into locations associated with the administration of, or recovery from anesthesia. It is designed to protect the health and safety of workers during their working lifetime in locations where exposure to waste gases and vapours occur. The recommended permissible levels of exposure contained in the following sections, however, cannot be defined as safe levels since information on adverse health effects is not completely definitive and many unknown factors still exist. Therefore, the environmental limits presented should be regarded as the upper boundry of exposure.
