At 18-inches, sash height fume hood flow velocity range in LFM should be:

source should you work to reduce the dose to rate 2mR/h?
2 feet
Dose equivalent
• 1 rem=1000 mrem
• Engineering controls
• Fume hood ventilation, built-in shielding
• Administrative controls
• Access control, keeping materials locked, written procedures, supervision,
inspection
• Radioactivity
• Keeping minimum
• Contamination
• Keeping minimum
• Using protective devices, periodic checks
• Distance
• Using remote tools, tongs
• Dose and effective dose equivalent are proportional to inverse distance squared
(10 times farther away yields 100 times less dose)
