[Lab] Laser Update

[Lisa Mibach]

I have a friend who installed a used submarine exhaust fan for solvent
extraction-it was mounted on a pivot so it could be closed in bad weather.

You will likely need advice/certification from health and safety officials-I
am not sure who they are but an engineering company would know.
