Title Blocking off polluted air by ventilation systems
Original title Schadluftabsperrung durch Raumlufttechnische Systeme [in German]
Bibliographic information 1990, Vol.111, No.2, p.63-68. Illus. 6 ref.
Abstract The arrangement of rooms and hallways and the design of an air conditioning system for chemical laboratories are described. The laboratory rooms are ventilated according to the purpose they fulfil, such as storage of chemicals or performance of chemical analyses and experiments. Through the creation of zones of overpressure, underpressure and of equal pressure, exposure of personnel to air pollutants is reduced.
