[Histonet] Exposure levels

[Prior, Andrew]

Actually, he's a good H&S officer! (just a bit inexperienced in this
field). Thankfully he has the brains to know when he doesn't have the
answers and isn't afraid to ask for help (through me) from those more
experienced to make sure that we are kept safe.

Subject: [Histonet] Exposure levels


Following a chat with our Health & Safety Officer, I'm looking for
suggestions on how to monitor air levels of the following chemicals:
Xylene
Chloroform
Formalin

We have a well vented lab and follow all the usual precautions but would
like to check that we are not poisoning ourselves too much.
How do you measure exposure in your labs? Ideally I'm looking for a
badge that a person could wear to measure individual exposure, but I
don't know if they exist.
Our Safety Officer has looked in to this, but has been unable to come up
with a definite answer so I thought I would turn to the experts.
Thanks

Andrew.
