A fume hood, technically a laboratory chemical hood, is a type of local exhaust ventilation system (engineering control). A typical fume hood is cabinet with a moveable front
sash (window) made out of safety glass. Air is drawn into the hood
under and through the opened sash and is exhausted through openings
in the rear and top of the cabinet to a remote point such as
an exhaust stack on the roof of the building.
A properly used and properly functioning fume hood exhausts hazardous gases, dusts, mists, and vapors from a confined location and helps protect workers
from inhalation exposure.
A biological safety cabinet is similar to a fume hood in outward appearance but is
designed for work with pathogens (infectious microorganisms) or
materials contaminated with pathogens requiring a specific
biosafety level.
Biosafety cabinets (BSC's) are designed to protect the user, the
environment, and the material whereas fume hoods are designed to
protect the user and others in that workspace. For example,
a fume hood typically exhausts a toxic chemical to a roof stack where it is diluted to such
a low concentration that it is unlikely to harm someone. In contrast, it would be
a very bad idea to release a pathogen such as Ebola or
virus to the environment, even if diluted, so biosafety cabinets
are equipped with HEPA filters to remove the biological material.
Biological safety cabinets may not be safe for use with toxic
chemicals unless they exhaust the filtered air outside the lab/work
space. There has been at least one report of an explosion caused by the use of flammable chemicals in
a BSC.

1. All operations that may generate hazardous air contaminants must be done inside a laboratory fume hood.
2. Fume hoods do not prevent accidents or chemical splashes. 3. Hood users must be trained in the proper operation and use of laboratory fume hoods.
4. The hood should not be operated unless it is verified that it is working correctly.
5. Safety glasses (goggles), lab coats, and appropriate chemical gloves must be worn when working in, on, or around the fume hood.
6. Do not put your head in the hood, beyond the sash opening.
7. Do not use the hood for storage of equipment, containers, or chemicals which are not going to be used during the day.
8. Equipment and materials placed in the hood must not block hood slots, airfoils, or otherwise interfere with the smooth flow of air into the hood.
9. Never place or use equipment that protrudes beyond the face of the hood (sash opening). This configuration will disrupt air flow of air into the hood and reduce its efficiency.
10. Keep all equipment and materials at least 6 inches behind the plane of the sash (hood face), this will improve containment capture. A stripe (tape) on the hood working surface is a good reminder.
11. Place all bulky equipment away from the sidewalls to allow air flow around the equipment.
A fume hood is a ventilated enclosure in which gases, vapors and fumes are captured and removed from the work area. An exhaust fan situated on the top of the laboratory building pulls air and airborne contaminants through connected ductwork and exhausts them to the atmosphere.
Depending on its design, the sash may move vertically, horizontally or a combination of the two and provides some protection to the hood user by acting as a barrier between the worker and the experiment.
