Narrative

EE tested positive for slightly elevated carbon monoxide levels. Monitors in lab have been unable to register CO. AA has a hood/fan vented to outside. Flame is fueled by acetylene, does not give off significant CO. Installing second fan, small heater is being removed. Don't believe lab is the primary source, steps being taken. EE is an extremely heavy smoker.
