Many healthcare workers who handle anticancer drugs are at risk for occupational exposure. However, there are no established permissible limits for occupational exposure to anticancer drugs; thus, in this study, we aimed to search for and improve procedures that have a greater impact on the amount of spatter for handling anticancer drugs in vials, which are frequently used, based on the quantitative evaluation of the amount of exposure. We used sodium riboflavin phosphate (FMN) as a simulated anticancer drug and measured the amount of FMN dispersed to the handling area by the wiping method and the amount of FMN dispersed in both gloves using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FL). In this study, it was suggested that the overall amount of dispersal in the preparation process was affected by the different methods of injecting the drug solution into the infusion bottles and whether recapping. It was also found that the variation in the amount of dispersal differed depending on the selected preparation technique. It was suggested that the amount of dispersal could be reduced by selecting an appropriate dissolution method for multiple vials, recapping, an appropriate method for injecting the drug into the infusion bottle, and properly preparing the internal pressure of the infusion bottle. The results of this study suggest that there are some techniques and procedures in the preparation process of vials that have a significant effect on the amount of dispersal, and that proper implementation of these techniques can contribute to the reduction of dispersal.
