Proper laboratory ventilation is necessary for teaching and research activities at The University of Alabama. Laboratory ventilation includes a number of systems and devices, beginning with the Building Automation Systems and ending with the types of doors and window seals that are installed.
The most common engineering control for maintaining safe laboratory ventilation is the Chemical Fume Hood. For more information on the chemical fume hood program at UA, click on the following:
