Hello Jack Brown and others on this string!

 

Additional issues on hood exhaust:

I would always caution that before turning down fume hoods ensure that you know the types of chemistry and compounds that are being handled and stored. In graduate labs it was and probably still a practice that the hoods were used to store especially hazardous materials. It is still a problem in industry as well to get our colleagues to understand how to properly use a hood.

Just my experience over the past 30 plus years in pharma.

I am remember some times decades ago when turning a fume hood on was a novel act. After a generation or more of folks storing stuff at room temp in any lab with or without ventilation the advent of fume hoods was novel and most welcome. Internecine warfare at times.

Comments from others in the "elder generations".
