Ventilation Precautions
The venting of fumes and disposal of waste must comply with all of the federal, state, provincial, and local health
and safety regulations. It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure that the air quality is maintained in
compliance with local health and safety regulations.
The source exhaust system and roughing pump must be vented to a dedicated laboratory fume hood or an external
exhaust system.
WARNING! Fire Hazard. Make sure that the source exhaust system is connected and
functioning to prevent flammable vapor from accumulating in the ion source.
WARNING! Radiation Hazard, Biohazard, or Toxic Chemical Hazard. Take care
to vent exhaust gases to a dedicated laboratory fume hood or exhaust system
and make sure that the ventilation tubing is secured with clamps. Make sure
that the laboratory has appropriate air exchange for the work performed.
