The significance of chronic exposure to anesthetic pollution for veterinarians and their associates is not well defined, but one cannot ignore the evidence that a potential occupational health hazard exists. Installation of a scavenging system can reduce anesthetic pollution and personnel exposure to waste gases significantly. However, it is important to realize that these systems are not a replacement for safe anesthetic practices and are only effective when used correctly and maintained properly.
长期暴露于麻醉废气污染对兽医及其同事的影响尚未明确界定,但不能忽视存在潜在职业健康危害的证据。安装废气清除系统可显著减少麻醉废气污染以及人员接触废气的情况。然而,必须认识到这些系统并不能替代安全的麻醉操作,只有正确使用和妥善维护才能发挥作用。
