Anatomists who require a full dissection format in the anatomy laboratory may be placing
themselves and their students at risk of over exposure to FA. Extremely high personal FA
readings may occur under the following conditions: performing heavy dissection of body cavities,38,53 mixing embalming chemicals 54 (which did not occur during this study), or if an individual leans the badge into a donor or otherwise touches the badge with soiled gloves. Regardless, these results indicate that PT instructors and students at each of the 5 sites are at risk of over exposure to FA.
