Does anyone have information on air flow monitors that may be approved for (or not approved) use in perchloric acid hoods?

There is no specific OSHA requirement for fume hood monitors. =A0The applicable refere nce is the OSHA Laboratory Standard, which requires the chemical hygiene pl an to include:
=A0
1910.1450(e)(3)(iii)
A requirement that fume hoods and other protective e quipment are functioning properly and specific measures that shall be taken to ensure proper and adequate performance of such equipment. =A0
While newer laboratory hoods generally include a built-in flow moni toring device, older hoods are commonly tested periodically using a portabl e flow monitoring device such as a vaneometer. =A0 Testing frequency should be addressed in your chemical hygiene plan; many facilities perform such t esting quarterly or at least semi-annually. =A0Additional local codes or in surance requirements may make more frequent testing necessary.
