Speaking of which: Doug and I were
discussing the potential hazards of microfilm in an emergency situation (such
as a fire). I posed a question regarding the toxicity of film, and
wondered if it would be necessary to alert emergency personnel to large
quantities of such (i.e. a media library or a microfilm room) in the event that
it was burning. Would the film produce enough toxins that it would be
considered hazardous? Doug came to the conclusion that it is no more dangerous
than other types of plastics, and the ps also suggests that film is not
considered a hazardous substance (at least Kodak!). If anyone else has experience with the
development of emergency response plans, and the inclusion/exclusion of
microfilm, I would be very interested in hearing about it. Thanks! Amanda Langendoerfer From: D NISHIMURA

off-line and apparently I replied to the wrong message and sent my ps to her
off to everyone. Sorry. -Doug Douglas Nishimura |
