[Histonet] Rusting in Pathology Department

[Beth.Fye <@t> HCAhealthcare.com]

Here is a question I don't believe I ever seen discussed here before.  Does anyone else have significant rusting issues in their Histology Departments?  Cabinet hinges, metal outlet plates, printers, etc. are rusting in our department, especially around the microtome areas.  Please let me know if you are having any of these issues, or can think of any reason for this.  We had a printer in the lab that the whole interior rusted out.  This is not minor rusting that I could contribute to water bath  humidity.
