| 1. A downdraft exhaust apparatus for removing an atomized liquid solution from an enclosure, comprising:
an enclosure booth defined by at least one vertically oriented enclosure wall and a vertically oriented door, the at least
one wall and the door disposed between and connected to a horizontally oriented bottom tray and a horizontally oriented top
cap;
an exhaust vent located below an anticipated user's facial area zone, the exhaust vent disposed within the bottom tray or
a lower area of the at least one wall or a lower area of the door, the vent configured for exhausting ambient atomized liquid
solution from the spray enclosure booth; and
an exhaust system pneumatically connected to the exhaust vent, whereby the exhaust system is configured to exhaust ambient
atomized liquid solution from the enclosure booth by drawing said atomized solution into the exhaust vent downward relative
to the anticipated user's facial area zone, and then out of the enclosure; wherein the exhaust system is comprised in at least
one hollow, cylindrical support pole that is attached to the bottom tray and supports the top cap, the air is drawn through
the vent to travel in the support pole to a negative pressure exhaust fan pneumatically connected to the exhaust system at
a top of the top cap.
