Where does ethanol gas go in an enclosed space?

In summary: Thanks for the info. I take random UAs and one of the substances they test for is EtG, which is...In summary, EtG vapor may remain in suspension or it may diffuse and dissipate in a room. It may take a while for the fumes to dissolve.

I would suggest you demand they stop using ethanol based sanitizers. There are non alcohol versions as well as isopropyl based ones. It seems cruel to expose you to something then require you be free of the substance they exposed you to.

Kind of like a bully punching you and demanding you stop hitting their hand with your face.

So has there been an issue with high numbers of coworkers being fired for failing this test in the past?
Have you brought up your concerns with your employer? Your union rep? Coworkers?
