Abstract
The concentrations of N2O, which might be injurious to the surgeon''s health, were determined at various positions in 4 dental surgeries in which N2O sedation was used without scavenging. Contamination was present in all the surgeries, the greatest concentration being recorded at the dentist''s nose and the least in the peripheral air. The reception area adjoining the surgeries was contaminated by N2O.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
