La manipulation de médicaments antinéoplasiques représente un risque pour la santé des employés des pharmacies. Afin de minimiser l’exposition et d’évaluer l’efficacité du nettoyage, l’échantillonnage par frottis a été utilisé pour analyser les médicaments antinéoplasiques sur les surfaces.

The handling of antineoplastic drugs represents an occupational health risk for employees in pharmacies. To minimize exposure and to evaluate cleaning efficacy, wipe sampling was used to analyze antineoplastic drugs on surfaces. In 2009, guidance values were suggested to facilitate the interpretation of results, leading to a decrease in surface contamination. The goal of this follow-up was to evaluate the time trend of surface contamination, to identify critical antineoplastic drugs and sampling locations and to reassess guidance values.
