Subject: PVA health hazards
A member of the staff who works near our processing area has complained that fumes from the PVA are causing her to have headaches. We have a small processing area which is a corner of the entire technical services floor. The PVA is probably the strongest chemical solution that we are using in our processing area and we have no special ventilation systems in that area. I'd like to know how others might handle this situation. Should we consider using non-PVA adhesives? Investigate the possibility of better ventilation?
