If your "jurisdiction have authority" gets extremely AR and they enforce NFPA as though it were law, you will find a requirement for monitoring lab oratory chemical hoods in NFPA 45.  The edition at my desk is ant iquated, 1991, but in Section 6-9.7 requires that new hoods and existing ho ods which are modified to have airflow indication.  My newer editions are in my home office, but I would venture to say that newer editions are a t least as restrictive as the 1991 edition in this area.

Could you site the requirement for fume hood monitors.  We are located in New York State (upstate) and are not awa re of such a requirement.
