<div><span style="color:rgb(33, 33, 33);display:inline !important">Hello</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(33, 33, 33);display:inline !important">I'm looking for some advice on how to store fluid collections that are mostly either 70% alcohol or 5% formalin. We are a small museum at the University of Reading, UK, with around 2,000 zoological
specimens in fluid (in sealed containers). We are being forced to move into a new facility which was arranged over 18 months ago. However suddenly we have been told that SDEAR (UK) regulations mean that we must have an 11m flue since we are adjacent to a tall
building. This will preclude our using the agreed site. We feel that this is excessive and are looking to experts to give us their opinion.</span><span style="color:rgb(33, 33, 33);font-size:12pt;line-height:1.5"> </span><font color="#242424" face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height:1.5"><span style="font-size:12pt"> I’d
appreciate any expert opinions. <span></span></span></font></div>
<div><font color="#242424" face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="line-height:1.5"><span style="font-size:12pt">It will be a store room in a larger building with specimens on shelving. People will only be in there if they need to access specimens to take for teaching
or check on their status. We feel that good ventilation and mask wearing for protection against formaldehyde fumes should be sufficient. Thank you.</span></font><br>
