Daily fume hood inspections entail visual inspections of the fume hood for improper storage of material and other visible blockages. Airflow is often monitored for these daily inspections by taping a piece of tissue paper to the open face of the hood such that it will be drawn inward; if the tissue is not pulled inward, the hood exhaust is not ...
Fume hoods were introduced about 100 years ago to safeguard personnel working with hazardous materials. While many changes and improvements have been made, the basic concept and design of fume hoods remains the same. Air is drawn from the workplace, around the worker and into the front of the hood, and is then exhausted out of the laboratory.

A biosafety cabinet is also easily-confused with a laminar flow cabinet, but like the fume hood is primarily designed to protect the worker rather than the biological samples. This is achieved by drawing surrounding air in and exhausting it through a HEPA filter to remove potentially hazardous microorganisms.
It is easy to draw ducts in 3D without correct dimensioning. Drawings should be laid out with: Work points, with elevations, and plan dimensioning. Elbow radius, duct diameters, or width and thickness dimensions, elbow tangent dimensions (true view and plan and elevation views) Column grids, dimensions between supports, showing work points
In kitchen ventilation systems, or for laboratory fume hoods, the design of effective effluent capture can be more important than the bulk amount of ventilation in a space. More generally, the way that an air distribution system causes ventilation to flow into and out of a space impacts the ability of a particular ventilation rate to remove ...
It’s easy to think your bot is a trusted ally, but it’s definitely not. It’s a data-collecting tool like any other. The views and opinions expressed in this column are the author's and do ...
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 .
