Studies on the decontamination of surfaces exposed to cytotoxic drugs in chemotherapy workstations

5-Flurouracil, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide were removed from a surface by wiping with detergents. VHP and alkaline detergents caused degradation of doxorubicin. The observed effect with detergent cleaning was pH dependent, but neither of the technologies applied had any effect on the chemical stability of 5-flurouracil and cyclophosphamide under the conditions tested.
