Trace contamination of anesthetic gases: a brief review. 1977

J T Jastak, and W Greenfield

Data have been reviewed relevant to the effects of chronic exposure to trace quantities of inhalation anesthetic agents. Much circumstantial evidence exists indicating a probable hazard to the clinician administering these agents. However, all previous studies in man have not identified the potential hazard of nitrous oxide without the presence of other contaminating agents.
