Methyl chloroform (MC) is commonly used solvent found in some adhesive tape remover products used in intensive care nurseries. Since volatile substances can accumulate inside an infant incubator, we measured levels of MC following simulated use of 2 commercially available adhesive tape remover pads. Readily detectable levels of MC could be found in incubator air for several minutes. Although adult occupational neurotoxic thresholds are higher, increased toxic susceptibility of the neonate CNS indicates caution should be observed.
甲基氯仿（MC）是重症监护病房使用的一些胶带去除剂产品中常见的溶剂。由于挥发性物质可在婴儿培养箱内积聚，我们在模拟使用2种市售胶带去除剂垫后测量了MC的水平。在培养箱空气中几分钟内就能检测到MC的水平。尽管成人职业神经毒性阈值较高，但新生儿中枢神经系统对毒性的易感性增加表明应谨慎对待。
