They are substances of non-selective action that affect the cells of the body indiscriminately. Who is at risk? Anyone who handles or is in contact with these substances. But also anyone who participates in the disposal of waste. In addition, the presence of these substances has been demonstrated in the air, on the ground, on work surfaces, in gloves and vials, even in the urine of treated animals. Being also in the air, we not only expose our veterinarians to a risk, but also the owner, our reception staff, the assistants, the cleaning staff. What are the health risks? 1/.
