Ventilation in Photoprocessing Labs
What are Kodak's recommendations for proper ventilation in a photographic processing lab?
Proper ventilation is important to assure a safe and comfortable work environment for photographic processing areas. Several common potential indoor air contaminants can be associated with photographic processing. To minimize these contaminants, consider the following:
- Good design and layout for process flow
- Use dilute and local exhaust ventilation (e.g., provide sufficient air exchange and vent the dryer according to the manufacturer's specifications)
- Provide covers and floating lids for all solution storage tanks and keep processing tanks enclosed
For additional information on ventilation refer to Kodak Publication J-314 Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation in Photographic Processing Facilities, CAT No. 1849298
