ABSTRACT
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.
