[sci.bio] CLINITRON BEDS AND OTHERS OF SIMILAR NATURES

Neil.Davis@onebdos.oneb.wimsey.bc.ca (Neil Davis) (04/12/91)

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.
