Until now, understanding the complexity of laboratory ventilation systems was a nearly impossible feat for most. This book takes a step by step approach to explaining the interface between the fume hood, the laboratory ventilation system and the building HVAC. It reveals not only the failings of these systems, but suggests solutions for making them better. Albright's holistic approach to the subject is refreshing and effective.
