What is the Impact of Industrial Chemicals on Histology?
While industrial chemicals are indispensable in histology, they also pose certain risks. Many chemicals used in histology, such as formaldehyde and xylene, are toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Proper handling, storage, and disposal of these chemicals are essential to minimize health risks and environmental impact. Laboratories must follow safety guidelines and use personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect personnel from exposure.
