FUME HOOD

A fume hood is a special type of laboratory work equipment with an enclosure on top that can contain the effects of the experiment being run within it. It is designed to ensure safety for the user and other inhabitants of the room, and it should be able to filter out any harmful gasses. A fume hood may also provide protection from small explosions or splashes. It must have a built-in mechanism to strongly suck the gasses out of the working area within the enclosure.
