Other applications, not fitting the above guidelines, would be better suited with the
exhaust ducted to the outside. The exhaust connection kit (See Chapter 3 and
Chapter 7) can be added to the XPert Filtered Balance System for ducting to the
outside. Additionally, the XPert Filtered Balance Station is factory prepared to be
connected to a remote blower, or house exhaust system for ducting to the outside.
Labconco also manufactures fume hoods and Class II Biological Safety Cabinets
for exhausting to the outside. Consult Labconco product specialist for additional
information.

Appropriate Chemicals for Odor Control Carbon

Filters

Below is a general set of rules to determine appropriateness of chemical usage.

Selected organic chemicals considered to be occupational carcinogens by NIOSH
– National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health/Mine Safety and Health
Administration. (U.S.A.) can be used in the filtered enclosure with carbon filters
under rigid restrictions. See separate discussion on carcinogens for special
instructions. Organics must have time weighted exposure limits TWA (Time
Weighed Average) of 1 PPM or greater.
Chemicals must have a detectable odor at concentrations below the TWA for the
chemical.

Chemicals must be designated by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health/Mine Safety and Health Administration) guidelines as
acceptable for use with chemical cartridge-type respirators (the exception is
formaldehyde and ammonia/amines, which used impregnated carbon).

Chemicals not listed by NIOSH in the Pocket Guide must be approved by
Labconco Product Specialist (or Engineering). Inlet concentration must never
exceed the IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) concentrations.
Chemicals having a recommendation by NIOSH of at least “Escape GMFOV”
(Gas Mask Full-Face Respirator).

When evaporating a mixture of chemicals, the chemical having the lowest TWA
will be used to determine if the mixture meets the guidelines.
Call a Labconco Product Specialist at 1-800-821-5525 for assistance in chemical
appropriateness.

Hazardous Misapplications for Odor Control Carbon

Filters with Volatile Chemicals

There is one scenario where the accessory carbon filter misapplication would be a

any of the following conditions present a potentially hazardous condition will
exist:
