[MCOH-EH] what type of respirator for decontaminating a chemo hood?

[Lisa Brosseau]

Respirators should be selected by comparing the air level of the chemical
to its exposure limit and then looking at the assigned protection factor
table in the OSHA standard.  What is the most toxic chemical in the hood?
What is being used to clean the hood?
