It looks like the glutaraldehye we use to sterilize equipment.

don't be too worried, it was used to kill TB (although a report i read said that production was discontinued because it failed at that), and it only causes mild irritation to skin and lungs. Well, that is when its right out of the bottle, not 20 years old.

Funny how this hospital left a lot of stuff behind that they should not have. I wonder if it was the hospital or "visitors" to have an affect.

Actually this stuff is still being used at the Umass Amherst College. And it still causes irritation to skin and lungs and just overall reaks.

Stupid or LAZY? Seemes they are interchangable when one wishes to put off doing something or to fix anything

It never surprises me the depth of human depravity we can find in the world if we stop just passing by.

The bottle of disinfectant appears to be empty either through use or evaporation over a long period. The paint chips and/or insulation are a more serious hazzard considering the age of the facility. Do not judge the forest by a fallen leaf, but by the whole.
