[Histonet] Xylene and Formalin monitoring

[Anne Murvosh via Histonet]

Just need a refresher on formalin and xylene monitoring regulations. Do we 
still have to do a 15 minute and 8 hour testing on both xylene and formalin, or 
can we just do the 8 hour. I wasn't sure if the regulations have changed or 
not. Thanks Anne
