1. Product Description
A fume hood (sometimes called a fume cupboard or fume closet) is a
type of local ventilation device that is designed to limit exposure
to hazardous or toxic fumes, vapors or dusts.
A fume hood is typically a large piece of equipment enclosing five
sides of a work area, the bottom of which is most commonly located
at a standing work height.
Two main types exist, ducted and recirculating (ductless). The
principle is the same for both types: air is drawn in from the
front (open) side of the cabinet, and either expelled outside the
building or made safe through filtration and fed back into the
room. This is used to:
-protect the user from inhaling toxic gases (fume hoods, biosafety
cabinets, glove boxes)
-protect the product or experiment (biosafety cabinets, glove boxes)
-protect the environment (recirculating fume hoods, certain
biosafety cabinets, and any other type when fitted with appropriate
filters in the exhaust airstream)
Secondary functions of these devices may include explosion
protection, spill containment, and other functions necessary to the
work being done within the device.

3. More About the Fume Hood
A fume hood is the most central piece of safety equipment available
to researchers in a laboratory environment. While it is understood
that the face velocity and sash height can drastically influence
airflow patterns, few specific recommendations can be given to the
researcher to guide them to maximize the safety of their particular
hood.
There are many styles and configurations of fume hoods, but there
is no one-size-fits-all option for various fields of research.
However, it is widely accepted that a fume hood face velocity of
80-120 ft/min is ideal for preventing nanoparticles in a hood from
entering the breathing zone of a laboratory.
Unlike constant flow fume hoods, which have no features to control the face velocity when the sash is moved constant velocity hoods maintain their velocity regardless of sash height. The constant velocity feature is a marvelous achievement toward improving laboratory safety conditions, but their extreme ease of use may lead researchers to become complacent with regard to safety. It is well known that a constant velocity fume hood can easily keep nanoparticles out of the lab air, and several groups have modeled how external obstructions and workers moving their arms across the fume hood threshold impact airflow patterns. Unfortunately, the most pragmatic case remains unexamined-that is, the influence of a typical synthetic reaction setup on airflow remarkably has yet to be explored.

5. Fume Hood Maintenance
• Hoods should be evaluated by the user before each use to ensure adequate face velocities and the absence of excessive turbulence.
• In case of exhaust system failure while using a hood, shut off
all services and accessories and lower the sash completely. Leave
the area immediately.
• Fume hoods should be certified, at least annually, to ensure they
are operating safely. Typical tests include face velocity
measurements, smoke tests and tracer gas containment. Tracer gas
containment tests are especially crucial, as studies have shown
that face velocity is not a good predictor of fume hood leakage.
• Laboratory fume hoods are one of the most important used and
abused hazard control devices. We should understand that the
combined use of safety glasses, protective gloves, laboratory
smocks, good safety practices, and laboratory fume hoods are very important elements in protecting us from a potentially hazardous
exposure.
• Laboratory fume hoods only protect users when they are used
properly and are working correctly. A fume hood is designed to
protect the user and room occupants from exposure to vapors,
aerosols, toxic materials, odorous, and other harmful substances. A
secondary purpose is to serve as a protective shield when working
with potentially explosive or highly reactive materials. This is
accomplished by lowering the hood sash.
