Dear Michael, Do you mean *ductless* fume hoods, i.e. recirculating air fume hoods? There's a huge difference in the IH capabilities between "ductless" and "ducted" fume hoods, if both are installed correctly. There are many IH risks and QA/QC considerations in using ductless hoods. Do you have documented and compelling reasons to consider using ductless hoods? Janet Baum, DivCHAS On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 10:07 AM, Michael Hojjatie

Dear colleagues:

We are in the process of building a new Laboratory and contemplating between using Dustless Fume Hoods vs. Du cted Exhaust Hoods. We will be using a variety of hazardous chemicals inclu ding carbon disulfide, acetonitrile, toluene, benzene, some carcinogenic su spect chemicals, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide gases. span>

I appreciate sharing your experiences with ductless fume hoods and whether you recommend these type of hoods for hazardous chemical work using the aforementioned chemical examples as well as advantages and d isadvantages of these hoods vs. the ducted exhaust hoods (safety concerns, costs, maintenance, etc.)
