I started learning about and doing a little alt process last spring. My
question is about darkroom ventilation. I live in an old brownstone with
my wife, and am hoping to build a proper darkroom in the basement. The
basement has an old workshop which I am converting.
Can someone give me some advice on proper ventilation, as my wife is
pregnant and I have stopped developing film etc., until I can figure out
how to go about this without fumes wafting through the house.
I normally use HC110, and have just started experimenting with Pyro. For
Alt (Kallitype kit) printing I went with the HID lamp setup illustrated
by Sandy King on unblinkingeye.com I know little about the specific
effects of darkroom chemicals, but had a friend who got the shakes after
working in a one hour lab for 8 years, so I'm being extra cautious.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
David
