Just FYI for those who are interested: at this point, the decommissioning
and removal project for the perchloric acid hood has been halted due to
budget concerns.  The hood will be left in place, and the department wants
to use it as a regular fume hood.

I'm still pushing to have it, at the very *least, *scoped and washed down
thoroughly before they do so, and then have a very large sign permanently
attached to the hood indicating it's new status as a "regular" fume hood.

Thoughts, comments, concerns, experiences are welcome.
