Subject: Latex Glove degeneration

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
