***The shift door on the cotton-top tamarin and the emperor tamarin enclosure is rusted in several areas on the surface of the door frame. Excessive rust can prevent effective sanitization of the surface, which may affect the health of the animals through buildup of pathogens. ***In the chimpanzee enclosure there was rust on the metal brackets holding the elevated platforms. There was also peeling paint in several areas on the back wall of the enclosure. Excessive rust and peeling paint can prevent effective sanitization of the surface, which may affect the health of the animals through buildup of pathogens. Surfaces which come into contact with nonhuman primates must be free of excessive rust and constructed in such a manner to promote effective cleaning and sanitization of the surface and preserve structural strength.
