    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    Although I've never ran across an issue with regards to EtG, I have a lot riding on this and am extremely cautious when it comes to things like this.

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    To answer your question, my brother who is a RN, explained that inhalation exposure to ethanol could cause a false positive for EtG/EtS. Until that point I had been advised to abstain from skin exposure to or ingestion of products containing ethyl alcohol. My concern stems from potential legal...

    Yes I most certainly do. Thanks for the information, its been extremely helpful.

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    This isn't in a children's classroom. As I said before, there's no ventilation in the environment. No AC or windows, and no open doors. What I'm trying to ascertain is how long can I expect it to take for the alcohol fumes to dissolve or dissipate?

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    Here's a link to one of the studies https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24631832 So would that be an average rate of air exchange in an unventilated classroom as well? Reason I ask is because I noticed that the smell from the cleaning products lingered in the room for quite some time after...

    But what I did want to know, is when it was mentioned above that "light fumes" would disperse within 5-10 min. is that referencing alcohol as well? And if not, how long would it take the alcohol specifically, to disperse, or sink, or do whatever its going to do other than just linger where it...

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    Actually studies have been done where subjects have tested dirty for EtG over the 500ng cutoff through inhalation of hand sanitizer. There are several studies that demonstrate this. The conclusions drawn from these studies were what caused me to ask my original question regarding what would...

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    Thanks for the link. I've just seen so much info regarding this test, and its ability to provide false positive results. And in nearly every study I've read, hand sanitizer is the main culprit...

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    Its a UA with a 100ng cutoff, which I took about 9 hrs after exposure. And what I want to know specific Ally is if someone used approximately 10-15ml of hand sanitizer to wipe down the tables in a 30x30x10 unventilated (no AC, no doors or windows open), around how long would it take for the...

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    When you say light fumes, would that include any alcohol present in the vapor as well?

    Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

    Thanks for the info. I take random UAs and one of the substances they test for is EtG, which is a byproduct of ethanol. The test is very sensitive and as I've recently learned cannot distinguish between alcohol consumption and incidental exposure.
