Some of the surfactants (found in wetting agents) can indeed accumulate (Triton-X, for example, is a phenol) on the reels but can be removed by detergents in washing. Many of colour film final rinses contain formalin--- or a product that degrades into formalin-- but some like Kodak's E-6 use formalin in the pre-conditioner. With paper, however, we don't have any reel to walk-into and even traces should not pose any problems. (One should also note that many commercial developers contain substances such as Triton-X). > idea how bad it might be for just the drum. -- -- Edward C.
