ETC's BioMedical Systems Division Places Two Monoplace Chambers at East Orange (NJ) General Hospital

Southampton, Pa, October 28, 2008- Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") BioMedical Systems Division today announced the placement of two (2) BARA-MED® Monoplace Hyperbaric Chambers at East Orange General Hospital (EOGH).

East Orange General Hospital is a fully accredited, acute care hospital located in East Orange, New Jersey. The Wound Care Center of East Orange General Hospital is run by Dr. Joseph Feldman, who has advanced wound care experience. In conjunction with standard wound care, the center also offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Sean Faughnan, Manager of EOGH's Hyperbaric Wound Care, stated, "Environmental Tectonics Corporation's history as a leader in the design and development of hyperbaric systems is second to none. Their reliability in mechanical and software engineering is state of the art and we are looking forward to bringing this high quality treatment to our patients."

ETC is the only manufacturer of a well-established computerized monoplace hyperbaric chamber. The BARA-MED® includes a 4th generation Windows™ based operating system. This computerized system eliminates the need for operator dive time management and paper recordkeeping while ensuring comprehensive documentation of the procedure. The Baramed®'s features enable technicians to focus their attention on patient care and management, making them more effective and efficient.

Bob Salmons, North Eastern U.S.A. Regional Manager for ETC's BioMedical Division, commented, "Our chambers were the right choice for this facility. EOGH ranks technology together with healing as their number one priority. "

The BioMedical Division plans to continue to supply its customers with both well-designed and scientifically advanced products in a competitive market. The BARA-MED® and BARA-MED® XD are a true evolution of our expertise in bringing chambers and software technology together in a value added package.
