Fume Hoods and Laboratory Ventilation for the Research Professional
September 9, 2006, 8:30AM - 4:30 PM
CHAS Members  $325.00   Non-CHAS Members  $375.00
Presented by Jim Kapin, Advanced Chemical Safety

Effective Laboratory ventilation is crucial for the control of  
inhalation
exposures to hazardous chemicals in a research setting. However,  
ventilation
is only effective when designed and used appropriately. The purpose  
of this
workshop is to provide the laboratory professional with sufficient
information to evaluate their current system and use it effectively.  
This
presentation is developed specifically for researchers and laboratory
professionals. It will be valuable to anyone who wishes to maximize the
effectiveness of their current system or participate in the design,
construction or renovation of new systems.
