SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Abatix Environmental Corp., Common Stock, $0.001 Par 
Value) File No. 1-10184

June 19, 1996.
    Abatix Environmental Corp. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the Boston 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, as of the April 30, 1996, the Company had 
2,088,964 shares of Security outstanding. The Security constitutes the 
sole class of voting securities of the Company. Each share of Security 
entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to come before a 
meeting of stockholders.
    The trades of the Company's Security on the BSE since 1989 have 
been minimal. In addition to the indirect costs (filing of period 
reports, etc.) related to being listed on the BSE, the Company pays 
$1,000 per year in direct fees.
    The Security is currently listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market tier 
of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The issuer cannot justify the expense of 
being listed on an exchange and the Nasdaq SmallCap system and thereby, 
wishes to withdraw from the BSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 11, 1996 submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
