[Histonet] Carcinogenic materials
I've had several requests for some of the information I received on carcinogenic materials. The information listed below is from an NSH publication, "Health and Safety Committe Information Packet." You can contact NSH at histo@nsh.org or (301) 262-6221. Their website is www.nsh.org and there are numerous publications you can order from this website.
Carcinogens in the Histology Lab:
Arsenic compounds (cacodylate buffers)
Benzene (solvent)
Chromium oxide (oxidizer for GMS)
Formaldehyde (fixative)
Benzidine (chromagen)
Benzideine-based dyes such as: biebrich scarlet, congo red, oil red O, woodstain scarlet, ponceau S, trypan blue, bordeaux.
