Venting Gases
During normal operation of the GC with the SCD, NCD, FID, other detectors and split/splitless inlet purge, some of the carrier gas and sample vents outside the GC. In addition, the vacuum pump will vent a small amount of ozone and other combustion products. If the components of the sample are toxic or noxious, vent the exhaust from the GC outlets to a fume hood. Also, vent the exhaust from the vacuum pump to a fume hood.
