When used properly, ductless fume hoods can be an excellent choice. The
Laboratory Safety Institute (LSI)published an article on ductless and ducted
fume hoods in our Winter 2006-7 issue. It was written by F. Hauville of the
Erlab Group. Erlab Group (_www.erlab.com_ (http://www.erlab.com/) ) is the
international manufacturer of an excellent line of ductless fume hoods.
LSI will be happy to send an electronic copy of the article to anyone who is
interested. The article provides good insights into the alternatives and
how to make a better decisions.
Regards, ... Jim

I have been asked to look into using a portable, ductless fume hood, and a
ductless chemical storage cabinet for the chem lab.
Do you have any experience with ductless systems? If so, please share your
opinions, suggestions on which ones to get or not get, etc. Which filters
should we buy? Do we really need a filter for organic materials?
Do you know how often the filters would need to be replaced?
The ductless fume hood is for regular chemistry classroom use. The chemical
storage cabinet will be in a room separate from the classroom and will hold
chemicals for chem., bio, and other science classes.
If you need more clarifying information, please ask.
Thank you in advance for helping out with this decision making process.
Sincerely,
Melissa Getz
