This webinar will focus on design considerations for lab ventilation and proper placement when installing chemical fume hoods. The presentation will touch on the design differences of major types of chemical fume hoods and briefly discuss their features and functions. Important key issues regarding general lab ventilation and exhaust ducts are covered in detail. OSHA standards and other applicable guidelines and regulations including NFPA are also discussed.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
