Chemical fume hood (A ventilated laboratory enclosure designed to remove from the working environment chemical fumes, vapours, gases, mists, aerosols, and particulates that are actively or potentially flammable, irritating, corrosive, toxic, or otherwise noxious. It is typically a plastic/metallic cabinet-like structure with an open front for product handling; it typically includes a sash to regulate the front opening, line-powered blowers to produce an inward flow of room air into the hood, and an exhaust system. Most hoods exhaust the contaminated air to the outside, but some filter the air and recirculate it into the room.)
