What kinds of chemicals am I exposed to when using radiographic film processing solutions, and how do I minimize exposure?
Radiographic film processing solutions are aqueous, and may be either acidic or basic in nature. Carestream Health provides warnings and precautionary statements on product labels, instruction sheets, and packaged products to assure safe use and reduced exposure to the chemicals. You can minimize exposure to any chemical by following the instructions on the labels and Material Safety Data Sheets/Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS). These MSDS/SDS not only display the chemical names of the solutions, but also specify potential hazards associated with their use. The warning and precautionary statements also assure safe use and reduced exposure to chemicals. Proper ventilation is also important to assure safe and comfortable indoor air environment for processing areas.
