title: Qualification of weighing station for pharmaceutical substances.
abstract: Work at weighing stations in pharmaceutical industries can cause risk situations to the operators as well as to the product. When working at a station, the operators' movements and the interaction between air movements and dispersion of contaminants play a vital role. A newly designed ventilated weighing station with HEPA-filters and how it can be evaluated with tracer gas will be discussed.
