Recent information on hazards as they relate to safety in the SEM laboratory has been compiled. The paper concentrates on recent information on formaldehyde, embeddants, and a reminder of the possible hazards of photographic chemicals. A review of formaldehyde does not substantiate it as a human carcinogen or mutagen. However, the other hazards associated with it suggest that formaldehyde needs to be handled with care. The recent substantiation of epoxy resins as mutagens suggests that all operations involving embeddants should be undertaken in an effective fume hood. Other precautions are also important. The hazards of photographic chemicals need to be reiterated. It should also be pointed out that adequate ventilation of dark rooms would do a lot to reduce this hazard.
有关扫描电子显微镜（SEM）实验室安全相关危害的最新信息已汇编完成。本文重点关注甲醛、包埋剂的最新信息，并提醒注意摄影化学品可能存在的危害。对甲醛的审查并未证实其为人类致癌物或诱变剂。然而，与之相关的其他危害表明，甲醛需要谨慎处理。最近证实环氧树脂具有诱变性，这表明所有涉及包埋剂的操作都应在有效的通风橱中进行。其他预防措施也很重要。摄影化学品的危害需要重申。还应指出，暗室有足够的通风将大大有助于降低这种危害。
