Fume Hood

A Fume Hood is an essential piece of laboratory equipment designed to protect personnel from exposure to hazardous and corrosive chemicals. These units work by drawing air away from the user, preventing inhalation of dangerous fumes and ensuring that toxic vapors are safely exhausted from the work environment. The airflow within a fume hood is carefully controlled to create a protective barrier between the operator and the harmful substances, making it a crucial safety device in laboratories handling volatile or toxic materials.
