fume extraction

Fume extraction is a process that removes harmful smoke, vapors, or fumes generated during activities like welding, soldering, or chemical use. It involves specialized equipment—such as local exhaust hoods or duct systems—that capture these airborne contaminants at the source before they disperse into the environment. This helps protect workers from inhaling toxic substances, improving air quality and safety within a workspace. Proper fume extraction is essential for maintaining health standards and ensuring a clean, safe working environment.
