This document discusses the components and design considerations for exhaust air systems in laboratories, including chemical fume hoods, biological safety cabinets, and dedicated exhaust systems. It outlines factors like compatibility of different exhaust streams, airflow quantities and control, filtration needs, redundancy, stack design, velocity measurements, and monitoring methods.
