Why my negatives are so dark

I would try to eliminate the changing bag. Just one more thing that can potentially go wrong.

Theoretically books binding adhesives have formaldehyde in it. Could be this one.
Or the furnitures.

In future I will try store bulk films avoiding these, but, as Korak said this is far fetched.

 

[Sidd]

I am puzzled like koraks as Sidd has seemed to have given answers that eliminates all suggested causes Something has changed but I cannot think what that might be that Sidd hasn't covered

I submitted before the forum just because of this, I couldn't fathom anything.

The only thing that I could think of for this general fog eliminating all other causes and conditions such as age, heat, and chemical fogging is either light exposure or radiation. Is the film stored in a basement? If it is please ease my mind and yours, by getting a radon detection kit.

It's not stored in basement, it is stored in my room on the first floor. However, Radon detection kit is a good option for health issues. Thank you.

isn't TriX a panchromatic film? and doesn't the 'pan' part mean it's also sensitive to red light?

That's what I said.

 

[Sidd]

That's what I said.

I am not understanding how that happened! I can't think or remember any such lapse on my part.

I'm not saying safe light fogging is what caused this. It's a possibility that could explain it, but there's no firm proof.
I was just responding to Ralph's question that seemed to be based on a misunderstanding/misreading of an earlier post of mine.
