OMG. We also experience the same thing. We are not sure what it's from. Our hood install has been only a year old and we have been using it for metals digestions
using EPA 3050B. I would like to know what is causing this. I have yet to take it apart to see what the root cause of this is.
Anyone have an answer?

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Fume Hood Ducting
Has anyone experienced accumulation of oil (perhaps mineral oil from a heated oil bath?) in fume hood duct work? Is this reasonable or even possible? Could a sufficient amount remain in the system for it to condense out in the ducts when
the exhaust fans were turned off for an extended period?
