Detected VOC levels before during and after mixing are shown for the control (no vacuum) and for two positions of the vacuum nozzle, the first being 20 cm above and 8 cm away from the bowl, and the second being 36 cm above and away from the bowl. A fresh batch of bone cement was mixed for each condition. The vertical lines indicate the start and end of mixing.
