Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Process THIS! Episode 151: New Perspectives on Chemical Exposure Limits in Sterile Processing
Q: How do new sterilizer technologies change how we think about exposure monitoring?
Technologies should be evaluated in a way that supports continuous monitoring and reduces peak emissions, with monitoring integrated into the workflow so technicians can move safely and efficiently instead of venting the load after opening the door.
Process THIS! Episode 151: New Perspectives on Chemical Exposure Limits in Sterile Processing
Q: Alex, exposure limits are being revised in many countries around the world. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Do you have some examples or some stories you can share?
There is a global movement toward lower short-term exposure limits for hydrogen peroxide, with countries adopting STELs around 2-3 ppm and some reducing to 0.5 ppm; this drives a much stronger emphasis on immediate monitoring rather than relying on eight-hour norms.
Process THIS! Episode 149: Meet the New President!
Q: Jan, what final thoughts or advice would you offer to listeners who want to get involved and advance in the field?
She emphasizes continuous certification, active participation in committees, networking, and putting oneself out there despite discomfort as keys to growth and credibility.
