A32 -- Industrial Local Exhaust Systems (SI)

Industrial exhaust ventilation systems collect and remove airborne contaminants consisting of particulate matter (dusts, fumes, smokes, fibers), vapors, and gases that can create a hazardous, unhealthy, or undesirable atmosphere. Exhaust systems can also salvage usable material, improve plant housekeeping, and capture and remove excessive heat or moisture. Often, industrial ventilation exhaust systems are considered life-safety systems and can contain hazardous gases and/or particles. Industrial exhaust systems also have to comply with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1 and other standards as required [e.g., by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)].
