Formaldehyde Removal for Greek Hospital Pathology Labs
Sismanoglio Hospital, Greece
Pathologists at Sismanoglio, Trikala, and Hatzikosta hospitals in Greece spend their working day surrounded by formaldehyde fumes. The chemical is essential for tissue preservation — but breathing it for eight hours a day, five days a week, year after year, takes a toll. Lab technicians reported headaches, eye irritation, and persistent health concerns. Conventional ventilation wasn't enough.
RHT installed ceiling-mount NCCO units (RH-490C) directly inside the pathology laboratories. The NCCO reactor doesn't just capture formaldehyde — it breaks the molecules down into water vapour and CO₂. No filter saturation. No secondary waste. No ongoing replacement costs. Lab staff across multiple Greek hospital sites now work in air that meets occupational safety standards.
