Default What is heavier?

I'm planning the ventilation for my new studio. I'm wondering which is heavier, the fumes and byproducts of making beads or O2? The location of my air intake and exhaust output will be affected by this

I don't know. I do know that it is recommended that Your clean air intake should be at least 10 ft from your output.

Atmospheric air is just slightly denser than CO, but it is kinda a moot point as you are using a fan to move air

There are a whole lot of different gases entering the atmosphere when torching (CO, NO, heavy metals, precious metals, etc.) at very high temperatures (hot air rises), but the exhaust should be moving air powerfully enough that their tendency to sink or float is vastly overcome by their tendency to be sucked out of the workspace. For example, dust would never settle on my table while I'm working - it'd be removed by the exhaust.
