Proposed nail salon with 8 nail stations and 10 pedicure stations. Exhaust is shown as a 340 cfm fan over each group of 4 nail tables. They say pedicure is for foot massage only, no exhaust required????
I always enjoy IMC code language clear as mud: "For nail salons, the required exhaust shall include ventilation tables or other systems that capture contaminants and odors at their source and are capable of exhausting 50 cfm per station."
Will a 340 cfm exhaust fan at 7'-6" above capture contaminants and odors at their source? If we capture all of the contaminants do we ruin the feel good chemical effect of the manicure?
