I worked in a professional photolab with all the photo chemicals from 1971 until we shut it down and went all digital 2004 or so so well over 30 years. Anyone that remembers the old days of the x-ray department and the smell of the fixer is familiar with that "aroma" and the developers and other chemicals were not real pleasant, but I was around it so much I really did not notice unless I was mixing chemicals of working on the opened up processor.
More than a few customers came in and would ask how we could stand the smell, and I always said, what smell.
We had one employee that just hated the stink of the processor, when he was standing in total darkness feeding photo paper onto the feed table. The bleach-fix was not pleasant, but not horrid. They called OSHA and filed a complaint. So out comes OSHA and we had to shut the production down so we could turn on the lights. She spun a little gizmo around and found just a trace of amonia, and it was like 1/50th of the limit. That employee was fired soon after.
