GSG Helping Keep Dental Laboratory Safe for Workers
December 10, 2010 – GSG has been selected to perform a study to determine indoor exposure levels of methacrylate in the dental labs at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois. Poly(methyl methacrylate) is extensively used in the production of dentures and a large majority of white dental filling materials (i.e. composites) have PMMA as their main organic component. As part of the study designed by GSG, samples are being collected at various locations in the facility and analyzed per National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 2537 at the AIHA accredited laboratory. GSG is proud to support the health and well-being of our military veterans as well as their caregivers.
