We primarily use passive dosimeters to measure personal exposure levels. For area monitoring, we use a halogen leak detector to detect gas leaks around animal chambers, tubes, and nosecones.
We also work closely with the Vets to correct isoflurane machine setups.

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!
