Fume Hoods

Fume hoods are specialized safety enclosures used in laboratories to contain and ventilate hazardous fumes, vapors, or dust generated during experiments or work with chemicals. They consist of a controlled airflow system that pulls contaminated air away from the user, preventing the inhalation of harmful substances. Fume hoods also help protect the environment by filtering or exhausting dangerous fumes outside the building. They are essential for maintaining a safe workspace, allowing researchers to handle chemicals securely while minimizing health risks. Proper use and regular maintenance ensure their effectiveness in safeguarding laboratory personnel.
