Where should vacuum exhaust NOT discharge?

Vacuum exhaust should not discharge in places of public assembly because these areas are designed for high occupancy and need to maintain a safe and comfortable environment. Discharging vacuum exhaust in such locations could potentially lead to the release of contaminants or unpleasant odors that might affect the health and comfort of individuals present, creating an unsafe atmosphere.

In contrast, private offices, laboratory areas, and storage rooms are generally less populated and may have the infrastructure to better manage exhaust and contaminants. These locations can often accommodate any necessary ventilation systems that will ensure the safe removal of exhaust without impacting a high number of individuals. Thus, maintaining public health standards and safety codes is paramount, making public assembly areas inappropriate for vacuum exhaust discharge.
