We needed to increase the size of the cleanroom so we will now need to purchase a larger lab
oratory fume hood. Our lab needed more room to be productive so that is why we increased the size of the cleanroom. We thought our current laboratory fume hood would be large enough for the new cleanroom however we now believe that we will need to up a size. The cleanroom is really no good if the air quality is poor due to the wrong size laboratory fume hood.The new laboratory hood should be installed in the cleanroom by next week.
Upon inspection we were written up due to the fume hoods.

When the inspection was complete our company had been written up do to the filth that was within our fume hoods to the clean rooms. We really dropped the ball on by not keeping the fume hoods clean. We really never thought of cleaning the fume hoods from the clean rooms.We really thought we were safe enough just having the fume hoods and air shower going into the clean rooms.But when the inspect
or pulled the fume hoods apart we completely understood how our clean rooms were contaminated even though we had an air shower for each of them.
We use fume hoods in our lab because we work with hazardous materials.

We use fume hoods in our lab because we work with hazardous materials. We have two different types of fume hoods. One style of fume hood is re circulating which means it cleans the air and re circulates it through a series of filters. On other type of fume hood we use is connected to an exhaust fan that leads out of the building. Fume hoods are used to prevent our personnel from inhaling any hazardous materials that we might be working with at the time. Some of our fume hoods use a charcoal like substance. Fume hoods are very ingenious. Although one of the downsides to a fume hood is a very costly electric bill it is certainly worth every penny when you consider the value of all of your employees. Certain Fume hoods are better than others.
