Odor in the lab reported

Dear labmembers,

This evening around 7:30 pm, a concerned labmember reported a strong
"sweetish" odor in the lab near the LPCVD furnaces. By about 8:30 pm,
the odor was reported to have dissipated. "Sweet" is not typically
used to describe any of the gases and chemicals used in the lab. And
with the air handling system, it can be difficult to where a particular
smell may be coming from. However, everyone should always be alert for
changes in the lab environment -- smells and sounds are often the first
clues to problems. So, if anyone has observed anything else unusual in
this area around 7:30 pm, please let a staff member know.

Thanks,

Your SNF Staff
