The consensus in my more than 50 years of grossing seemed to be that the pathologist's or other grosser's health and comfort didn't matter very much.

[Histonet] fume hoods for grossing
Hi Histonetters, I'm trying to see what kind of exhaust/fume hoods people are using in small grossing labs. We are moving into a new space and I want to make sure the ventilation at the gross board is adequate. I don't think an actual grossing station is in the budget. Thanks, Mehndi Helgren Dominion Pathology Laboratories 733 Boush St. Suite 200 Norfolk, VA 23510 757-664-7901 ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
