REQUEST : I need documentation,research papers,and anecdotal reports upon CLINITRON BEDS AND OTHERS OF A SIMILAR NATURE, regarding actual or potential HEALTH HAZARDS associated with the MICROSPHERES which constitute the substance of the fluidized bed. I have a considerable amount of secondhand information regarding allegations that severe acute and chronic disease has resulted from exposure to the microspheres.[my source is a friend who was/is one of the alleged victims. It is my understanding that an advisory notice was published by my union,the The British Columbia Nurses Union,about a year ago. As to what it actually contained I know not as they have still not sent me a copy.My employer has never replied to my expressed concern. We are using the beds once again.I am concerned for my health,and for the health of my co-workers,and patients. HELP ! **** I have phrased this request with care as any allegations are clearly unsubstantiated.I have no desire to libel anyone.I wish merely confirm or negate the existance of a problem,and in doing so protect everyone. --- ConfMail V3.31 * Origin: The Southdog Voyage (1:2001/6) -- Neil Davis - via IMEx node 89:681/1 Neil.Davis@onebdos.oneb.wimsey.bc.ca
