Subject: Formaldehyde off-gassing from cadavers
Comments: To: SAFETY , UC_LABSAFETY**At_Symbol_Here**ATHENA.UCR.EDU
Apologies for the liberal cross-posting:

Reviewing plans for a renovated teaching space for human anatomy.  Since the
building is close by other buildings, we will conduct a wind tunnel study.

I need to find out the amount of off-gassing of formaldehyde from cadavers
preserved in 10% buffered formalin.  There will be 24 cadavers stored on
down-draft tables and approximately 10 more cadavers, wrapped in plastic,
stored in a support space.

I really don't know where to start so I thought I'd start with you guys.
Help!

Thanks,
Debbie
