Fume extraction

The National Gallery of Victoria is currently planning a
comprehensive building redevelopment, including the Conservation
laboratories. An issue of concern within the Conservation Department
is the upgrading of fume extraction systems to meet health and
safety needs. We would be interested to hear from other institutions
with comments on the effectiveness of their 'elephant trunk' type
fume extractors and their consequent effect on air-management
systems, in particular control of relative humidity; noise; and an
overall opinion of whether they are the best solution to fume
control.
