Atmospheric samples were taken for carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, benzene and perchloroethylene. All results were negative. (Tables 1-3). Deficiencies in the ventilation system were found; the ventilation system in the print shop is unbalanced. The system delivers a total of 3300 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) while exhausting a total of 700 CFM. (Tables 4-5). A properly balanced ventilation system should have approximately the same amount of supplied air as exhausted air.
