  • Title: Determination of contamination of a chemical warfare-proof operating theatre with volatile anaesthetic agents and assessment of anaesthetic gas scavenging systems.
    Author: Yoganathan S, Johnston IG, Parnell CJ, Houghton IT, Restall J.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1991 Nov; 67(5):614-7. PubMed ID: 1751276.
    Abstract:
    Three types of anaesthetic waste scavenging systems (active antipollution system, Papworth Block passive system and activated charcoal absorber system) were compared with a non-scavenging control to assess their effectiveness in reducing waste halothane concentrations in a chemical warfare-proof operating theatre. All three systems were found to reduce the level of pollution significantly.
