Subject: [ RadSafe ] Fume hood face velocity specifications

Hello radsafers,

 

I am looking for information regarding where the requirements that a
fume hood's face velocity be 80-120 FPM come from. Is this a regulation
or best practice? I can only find a reference to this in an ANSI/AIHA
recommendation. 

 

Thanks for your help,
