Abstract
A removable, adjustable ventilation system adapted for use with embalming or autopsy tables for removing vapors from the surface thereof which includes a longitudinal member having a suction slit along its entire length connected to an air removal mechanism. The member is designed to be placed immediately adjacent to the edge of the table so that vapors are removed from the table directly into said suction slit, through a double plenum, and to the outside. A fluid collection trough and access door are provided in the plenum for removal of fluids carried from the table by the suction of at the slit. Adjustable legs are also provided to allow the member to be moved up, down or tilted in accordance with the table.
