摘要
Environmental monitoring of anaesthetic gases was carried out in theatre areas in eight hospitals as well as in Delivery suites, radiology, radiotherapy and Dental suites. High staff exposures occurred in nontheatre areas although exposures in theatres were generally satisfactory. Environmental control measures are required where staff exposures exceed legal standards.
