通风被广泛认为是生物医学设施设计中保护人员和实验的最关键因素之一。生物安全柜是与通风系统发生反应的主要密封装置，有时也是通风系统的一部分。回顾影响生物医学实验室通风设计的主要规范和指南，生物医学实验室通风的主要考虑因素，以及生物安全柜与实验室的关系，包括影响性能的因素和安装过程中遇到的常见问题。 利用几个项目的案例研究，探讨了生物安全柜的选择和性能问题。关键词:实验室、通风、机柜、性能、安全、设计、危害、人员、法规、安装、选择、案例研究、位置、安全机柜、抽气通风、细菌、病毒、健康。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。1994年，第100卷，第一部分

Ventilation is widely acknowledged as one of the most critical factors in biomedical facility design for the protection of both personnel and experiments. Biological safety cabinets are primary containment devices that react with and are sometimes part of the ventilation system. Reviews the major codes and guidelines affecting ventilation design in biomedical laboratories, the major considerations in ventilating biomedical laboratories, and the relationship of biological safety cabinets to the laboratory, including factors affecting performance and common problems encountered in their installation. Issues in the selection and performance of biological safety cabinets are explored utilising case studies of several projects.KEYWORDS: laboratories, ventilation, cabinets, performance, safety, designing, hazards, personnel, regulations, installing, selecting, case studies, location, safety cabinets, extract ventilation, bacteria, viruses, health.
