The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is conducting an evaluation of source capture ventilation systems (SCVS) units for use in nail salons, including downdraft vented nail tables and portable SCVS. This notice invites developers, manufacturers, distributors, and vendors of downdraft vented nail tables and portable nail salon SCVS that feature local exhaust recirculation to submit new, unused units for evaluation. A supply of filters sufficient to provide ventilation during 6 months of daily operation (as recommended by the developer or manufacturer), should be submitted to the NIOSH laboratory in Cincinnati, OH, together with the table or portable SCVS.
