Particles in a box: Novel design and evaluation of an adaptable engineering control enclosure for a common split tube furnace to eliminate occupational exposure to refractory ceramic insulation fibers

Split tube furnaces, which rely on insulation commonly made of refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) material, are routinely used in nanotechnology laboratories to generate carbon-based nanomaterials and other manmade materials through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes. RCF aerosols can pose a use-...
