RE: Fume hood acceptance criteria



Depending on the type of facility where the fume hood is located the
American Institute of Architects as well as the American Society of Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning both have some thoughts on the matter.
Their guidance is driven by the practical use of the facility (i.e.
pharmacy, nuclear medicine, medical lab, etc..) It isn't necessarily better
information, just different as they have a different perspective on the need
for effluent controls.

Subject: Fume hood acceptance criteria


Hi,

Does anyone know of acceptance criteria for fume hoods in which radioactive
material is used that differ from acceptance criteria for chemical fume
hoods?  We use linear face velocity criteria from ANSI/AIHA-Z9.5-1992 and
ASHRAE 110 for performance test.

Thanks,

Bill
