Laboratory airflow control systems serve as the primary means of protecting people working with hazardous airborne materials. Proper control of airflow is critical to minimizing occupational exposure below safe limits and minimizing contaminant migration and surface contamination. The laboratory environment serves as a secondary means to support safe and productive workspaces. Several factors including the locations and types of air supply diffusers and exhaust grills, location and strength of contaminant generation rate, and obstructions to airflow can impact contaminant accumulation, dilution and removal. This session will present techniques that can reduce airflow, minimize energy consumption and improve safety.
