Powder Handling and Weighing of APIs
A hood or enclosure with a horizontal laminar flow can provide airflow to protect the operator and also create less turbulence than vertical airflow and prevent small fluctuations in weight due to normal room air circulation. Handling powders, especially fine powders that are easily airborne, can create dust and be messy. If inhaled, they can be hazardous and cause damage to the nose, mouth, throat, and/or lungs.
