Detail:

The fume hood provides a safe environment in which to handle chemicals that emit noxius fumes such as solvents and acids. Protection is provided by continuous intake of air to remove and safely exhaust fumes and a glass panel at the front of the cabinet to protect the operator. It is important to note that suitable protective clothing will still need to be worn when using hazardous chemicals.
