Hi Dr Wegner.
I got to tour a state of the art lab this weekend. A lot went into the development of the lab from digging below the floor into the ground to test for any emissions to using all paint and products that emit no VOCs at tall. Obviously air filtration too. New, small sized incubators designed to recalibrate much quicker than the old ones...I learned a lot about how VOCs and Air Contaminants can affect embryo development, fragmentation and overall success rates for a clinic.
What if someone that accessed the lab or handled embryos was a smoker? It's not the case with this lab in particular but what if someone smoked during the time he/she worked during the day? It seems to me that there is no way at all to get the toxins off your clothes, body, fingernails, etc and no smoking would be an absolute truth at any lab. They say perfume and deodorant can impact embryos so how would smoking?
Is that correct or do you have another opinion on the matter?
