Hello:
I am trying to find out what other universities are doing for monitoring isoflurane exposure (or other anesthetic gases). In BC it is classified as a reproductive toxin but does not have an exposure limit. We are planning to use the Cal/OSHA
PEL of 2 ppm as a guideline. Isoflurane is the main anesthetic gas used in our research animal units.
Thank you!
