2. Fume hood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fume_hood

   Ductless fume hoods, also known as recirculating [16]: 502 or self-contained hoods, [8]: 160 are units that do not extract air out of the building or work environment. Rather, air is sucked through the front opening of the hood and through a filter, before passing through the fan mounted on the top (soffit) of the hood or beneath the worktop ...

3. Engineering controls for nanomaterials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_controls_for...

   A fume hood is an example of an engineering control that uses local exhaust ventilation combined with an enclosure to isolate a worker from nanomaterials that may become airborne. Engineering controls for nanomaterials are a set of hazard control methods and equipment for workers who interact with nanomaterials .

4. Biosafety cabinet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_cabinet

   Fume hood Glove box A biosafety cabinet ( BSC )—also called a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet —is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace for safely working with materials contaminated with (or potentially contaminated with) pathogens requiring a defined biosafety level .

5. Vented balance safety enclosure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vented_Balance_Safety...

   For example, a single six-foot hood operating 24/7/365 costs over $5,000/year to operate. [1] [2] In addition, CAV hoods do not react rapidly to airflow disturbances (turbulence) within the hood or within the laboratory and, hence, their sole purpose of containment and protection can be seriously compromised.

6. Kitchen hood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_hood

   A kitchen hood, exhaust hood, hood fan, extractor hood, or range hood is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen. It removes airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration. [ 1 ]

7. Laminar flow cabinet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminar_flow_cabinet

   A laminar flow cabinet blows unfiltered exhaust air towards the worker and is not safe for work with pathogenic agents, [2]: 13 [3] while a fume hood maintains negative pressure with constant exhaust to protect the user, but does not protect the work materials from contamination by the surrounding environment.
