Lead glass-filled ruby

OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for airborne gold soldering flux fumes is best controlled through which engineering control in a bench jewelry shop?

Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) captures contaminants at the source before they enter the worker's breathing zone, making it the preferred engineering control.
