In a lab environment, it is mandatory to have lab
safety equipment to protect the specimen and lab
personnel. To protect the lab workers from toxic
fumes lab fume hood is installed in labs that
deal with chemical and toxic research and similar
applications. To keep toxic fumes out of the
lab's working area and to protect the worker and
specimen from these fumes, laboratory fume hoods
are installed unfailingly. The lab fume hood is a
partially enclosed workspace that is ventilated
to do the job of exhausting fumes outside of the
lab area. Even though it takes up a small space
in a laboratory it has a large usable interior
working depth to allow sufficient space to do
experiments.

The fume hood has tempered safety glass
positioned at the back, and sides and a tall
viewing window which gives superior visibility
for demonstrating chemical experiments. These
hoods allow the employees to observe how students
or workers experiment. The lab fume hood unit has
a hood and a sash that can be raised for easy
loading and cleaning and opened or closed to make
the most of access to airflow. You can even close
it for minimizing the air flow.  For the
analysis of trace metals and corrosive
substances, especially well-designed laboratory
fume hoods that resist corrosion are recommended
for installation. Usually, the efficiency of the
fume hood is measured by the speed of the air
flow that crosses between the work surface and
the sash. Speed is measured in feet by the minute
and the greater the velocity of the hood face,
the faster toxins and vapors it can flush out of
the lab.

Mostly lab fume hood works to prevent exposure to
vapors and toxins and thus there are different
hoods designed to work in different velocities
for different chemical and technological
applications.  The ductless lab fume hood is
ventilated enclosure that has a fan, which draws
air out and through filters and ultimately
re-circulates it into the laboratory. The filters
in the lab fume hoods are designed to trap vapors
generated in the chemical hood and exhaust clean
air back into the laboratory.
