<p class="MsoNormal">Conserve O Grams are, of course, very useful and widely trusted and popular. It would be up to Joan Bachrach who manages this resource to decide whether it is broadly applicable to National Park Service staff but, until that time or, in
addition, this seems like a topic that would do well on the SPNHC wiki site. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Jeff & all<br>
<br>
good idea - which countries/ languages would be needed ? So far, I have encountered vermiculite only in shipments from US institutions; never saw it in loans from European institutions. Maybe just Spanish would be sufficient?<br>
<br>
Another option would be to notify institutions/colleagues shipping specimens on vermiculite about the potential health issues when such loans arrive/are discovered. We would thus reach also colleagues which do not follow NHColl conversations.<br>
<br>
All the best<span style="color:#888888"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Very funny coincidence - James Maclain (NHM London) just brought this up in an internal conversation. Actually there is no reason to use it, and simple paper towels surely do even
better as absorbent material for IATA packaging, compared to vermiculite. For A 180 packing, the requirement is that the absorbent material must be sufficient to hold the entire fluid per packaging in case of leakage. There are no further specifications, and
even toilet paper would do a perfect job, but admittedly tends to be rather unstable compared to normal paper towels when wet.<br>
<br>
When I receive such shipments, I carefully open the outer packaging and remove the vermiculite into a large zip-lock back and immediately rinse the inner packing under water to avoid the dust; vermiculite is also VERY electrostatic, and you have it just everywhere.<br>
<br>
Thanks for pushing this, Rob!<br>

Have a nice weekend<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I have health and safety concerns regarding the use of vermiculite as an “outer packet” absorbency material in the shipping of alcohol preserved specimens. We have never used vermiculite
in the Florida Museum Fish Collection, but I receive many specimen shipments containing it and thus must handle it. And as anyone who has touched the stuff can attest, no matter how carefully handled, tiny particles of vermiculite end up suspended in the air
one is breathing. <o:p></o:p></p>
