Hi Gang:

Excusing the cross-posting....  We have researchers whose latex gloves,
rubber bands and other latex-containing articles degrade at an alarming
rate.  This is annoying.  Lately, a photographer in this building has found
her images degrading as well.  This is now causing consternation amongst
building occupants.

All the obvious have been checked - it is a laboratory building with
one-pass air and the degradation is not localized to a single floor or lab.

Ideas?  Don't be shy about suggesting the outrageous.

Thanks,
Debbie
