  • Page 79: Less Impact On The Environment

    Technical Information Less Impact on the Environment Disposal regulations and procedures for “wet” processing chemistry are time-consuming and expensive. And even with the most exacting procedures, the potential to discharge hazardous materials into the environment exists. Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging film is not considered hazardous to the environment.
  • Page 80: Storage And Handling Of Undeveloped Film

    Transit temperatures above 95°F/35°C will gradually diminish shelf life. If the Kodak Automatic Image Quality Control system (AIQC) encounters film that has been damaged by improper handling, it will automatically alert system operators before the film is developed.
  • Page 81: Archivability Of Developed Film

    Odor Dissipation The “wet” chemistry associated with the development of silver halide film creates strong, unpleasant odors. By eliminating “wet” chemistry, Kodak DryView technology eliminates virtually all of these odors. While some low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose no known adverse health risks.
