A waste anesthesia capture system includes exhaust apparatus having a rate of fluid flow of at least five times the rate of anesthesia gas delivered to a patient, the exhaust apparatus having a capacity of at least ten cubic feet per minute. The system further includes an exhaust conduit in fluid-integral communication, at a first opening, with the exhaust apparatus. Also included is a Y-shaped anesthesia gas conduct formed of a flexible memory-retaining material. A cross-section of a base portion of that conduit has an output in fluid-integral communication with a second opening of the exhaust conduit, and each of two branches of the Y-shaped conduit define longitudinal axes, the axes having a selectable separation in the range of nine inches to two feet, and each open end of the branches defining a diameter in the range of 0.5 to 4.0 inches.
