Chemical pollutants in X-ray film processing departments.
Health and Safety Laboratory, Sheffield, U.K.
A survey of X-ray film processing departments revealed the main airborne contaminants to be sulphur dioxide and acetic acid at concentrations of about 0.1 ppm. Glutaraldehyde was not detected either in the ambient air or in the exhaust duct from an automatic film processor. Laboratory studies confirmed sulphur dioxide and acetic acid as the main headspace constituents above working strength processing solutions but glutaraldehyde and butyraldehyde were also detected.
