| The fume hood is an important safety device in any laboratory. Fume Hoods are recommended for exhaust from the hood working area, of gases, vapour, toxic particles, odour to improve working environment of people who regularly handle toxic substances. These reduce personal exposures and odour level in the laboratory. These are designed to exhaust toxic or otherwise harmful vapours etc., for protecting laboratory personnel & equipments. A motor-blower exhaust system generates negative pressure within the hood, extracting the contaminated air from the work area and expelling it into the atmosphere and preventing the fumes from escaping into the room. These are recommended for various laboratories like Bio-Chemistry, Pharmaceutical units, printed circuit etching/cleaning etc. These are capable of handling corrosive fumes of sulphuric and hydrochloric acids etc. If work-area walls are lead-lined (Optional), it can be effectively used for Radio-Isotopic applications.
