Canadian cancer incident rates indicate that one in every 2.5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime and half will die from the disease. Recent studies concerning carcinogenetic cytotoxic drugs in the workplace (including BC health authorities) have found that work surfaces remain contaminated even after prescribed cleaning procedures have been carried out. Occupational exposure to these drugs is associated with various adverse health effects including organ toxicities, reproductive problems, tumors and cancer. The anticipated result of this research is the realization of an effective air monitoring method to determine the effectiveness of current control measures within BC health authority facilities.
