Are there any standard or good sources for ventilation in rooms and tanks for gases and powders? Any rules of thumb.
Thanks.

RE: Requirements for Ventillation
I believe OSHA publishes maximum concentrations for worker exposure for a wide range of substances- try some research there.
If the product in question is flammable, the concentration should be kept well below the lower explosive limit (assuming any personel are using supplied air!).
It help to tell more about your particular application, and where you're at.

Otherwise, sounds like you're into the Industrial Hygiene field- look for someone with more expertise there.
Some products you wouldn't think about can be bad news. Common beach sand dusted into the air gives you silicosis, about like black lung disease- and what could be more harmless than sand?

If I was really good I could tell you the sections but I am no code expert.
