Well, see, here's the thing. I understood the concept totally. Put an air
purifier and a fan, vent it outside, blah blah blah, all that I got. What I
was noting was that if you fan around the smell of ****, what you will end
up with is a dispersed smell of ****, not a "missing" smell of ****, in
other words, the fan will move the air around such that it will smell
somewhat in a much larger area, rather that smelling a lot in a small area.
Not a good thing.

Plus which, are you insane??? It is my understanding that baby **** is
basically like friggin ghostbuster slime, and putting "slats" in the
changing table will only serve to ensure that you will never sop up the
entire mess, given that half of it will be under the changing table holes.
Babies are disgusting like that.

I think it would be an interesting experiment. First thing I wonder
about, though, is what is the point of the filter? It's going outside,
right? Who cares if it stinks outside on the side of the house? A
quick breeze and its gone.

The second thing is that I think I would line the outside edge of the
table with the vents rather than try slats. You can use more vacuum
safely that way, and it should set up a nice airflow to pull all the
smell into the vents. It would be something like this:

That way your airflow from above would be trapped at the edges, leaving
the inside to flow down to the basin. The air at the basin would be
drawn to the sides, where it is vacuumed too. (I love the smell of
ASCII art in the morning.)
