It's actually much more complicated and convoluted than that. I answered your question off line and then I just couldn't hit the send button. It's in the draft file and I'll think on it.
However, I can say this is not about assessing a particular commercially available filter. There is a major filter manufacturer who will be designing one specifically for this photo department.

But to do this right, I need to know what is emitted as air contaminants by a number of different Black and White processes, toning, and alternative photo processes. I'm working one set of chemicals at a time and doing my best, but if anyone has any data to help, I'd be thrilled.

> > Only incidentally are some chemicals that emanate from the baths during use mentioned such as sulfur dioxide, acetic acid, ammonia, formaldehyde, and H2S from some of the toners. But not all of these are generated by all processes and there are many other chemicals that we never even thought about such as the halides, amines, phenolics, etc..
Am I correct in assuming that the local environmental authorities don't have adequate guidance in assessing what chemicals might be of interest in assessing this air filter? It's a fascinating question that you raise...
