Canadian Monitoring Program for Surface Contamination with 11 Antineoplastic Drugs in 126 Centres: Results for 2023.
Background: Occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs can lead to long-term adverse effects on workers' health.
Objective: To describe contamination with 11 antineoplastic drugs measured on surfaces within health care centres.
Methods: Centres sampled 12 standardized sites: 6 in oncology pharmacies and 6 in outpatient clinics. Samples were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Results: A total of 126 Canadian centres participated over the period January to April 2023. Cyclophosphamide (411/1476, 28%) and gemcitabine (352/1476, 24%) were frequently found on surfaces; less than 10% of samples were contaminated with the other 9 drugs. The 90th percentile of concentration was 0.0095 ng/cm2 for cyclophosphamide and 0.0040 ng/cm2 for gemcitabine. The armrest of a treatment chair (93/123, 76%) and the front grille inside the biological safety cabinet (61/123, 50%) were frequently contaminated with cyclophosphamide.
Conclusions: This monitoring program allowed centres to benchmark their contamination and helped increased awareness. Frequent decontamination, safe handling practices, and the use of personal protective equipment are mandatory.
