Aux fins des FTSS [fiche technique sur la sécurité des substances], la ventilation générale, également connue sous le nom de ventilation par dilution, consiste à évacuer l'air contaminé d'une pièce et à le remplacer par de l'air frais, ce qui réduit la quantité de contaminant qui se trouve dans l'air du milieu de travail. La ventilation générale sert ordinairement dans les cas où il s'agit de substances non dangereuses. 3, record 2, French, - ventilation%20avec%20apport%20d%27air%20neuf
