Product Description
The level of protection provided by a fume hood is affected by the manner in which the fume hood is used. No fume hood, however well designed, can provide adequate containment unless good laboratory practices are used, as follow:
• Ensure the exhaust is operating before beginning work. Check the baffles for obstructions. If the hood is fitted with an airflow monitor, check the monitor's status. Even while working, be alert to changes in airflow.
• When using the fume hood, keep your face outside the plane of the hood. Use the sash for partial protection during hazardous work.
• Work at least 6 inches back from the face of the hood. A stripe on the bench surface is a good reminder.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as splash goggles and gloves. This enhances safety in case of catastrophic spills, run-away reactions or fire. Wear a full face shield if there is possibility of an explosion or eruption.
• When using large apparatus inside the hood, place the equipment on blocks, when safe and practical, to allow air flow beneath it.
• Do not make quick motions into or out of the hood, use fans, or walk quickly by the hood opening. These will cause airflow disturbances which reduces the effectiveness of the hood.
• Substitute with less hazardous or less volatile chemicals where possible.
• The hood should be kept closed, except during apparatus set-up or when working within the hood is necessary.
• Keep the hood sash closed as much as possible to maximize the hood's performance.
• Keep the sash closed when not in use to maximize energy conservation.
• If performance is suspected, or an airflow alarm is triggered (if installed), terminate usage, and close the sash completely.
• Items contaminated with odorous or hazardous materials should be removed from the hood only after decontamination or if placed in a closed outer container to avoid releasing contaminants into the laboratory air.

Type of Fume Hood
• General Purpose, Bench Top Fume Hood
• Distillation Fume Hood
A distillation hood is characterized by a low worktop height which results in a large working height for the operator. This allows tall distillation equipment to be installed and mounted in the work chamber. Otherwise, it has similar features to that of a standard fume hood.
• Perchloric Acid Fume Hood
Perchloric acid reacts violently with organic materials. Dried perchloric acid is also highly explosive. Therefore, perchloric fume hoods require built-in water wash down systems in order to prevent perchlorate salt deposits. Interior liners are made of acid resistant materials like stainless steel. Interior corners are coved to aid in cleaning. All procedures that use perchloric acid must be confined to a perchloric fume hood, to prevent dangerous reactions with other chemicals.
• Radioisotope Fume Hood
Radioisotope fume hoods are constructed specifically to protect users from radioactive materials. They have specially constructed worktops to withstand the weight of lead shielding plates, and may also have lead laced sashes. Interiors are made of stainless steel with coved corners to aid in decontamination.
• Acid Digestion Fume Hood
Acid digestion fume hoods have special liners manufactured of acid resistant materials such as unplasticized PVC. For acid digestion applications involving high service temperatures, other materials such as PVDF may be used. Sashes may be made of polycarbonate to resist hydrofluoric acid etching.
• Floor Mounted Fume Hood
Floor mounted fume hoods are used for applications which require large apparatus. As the name implies, these hoods are floor mounted without any work surface. This facilitates the transfer of equipment and materials into, and out from the hood. Floor mounted hoods are sometimes referred to, although wrongly, as walk-in fume hoods.
• Demonstration Fume Hood
A demonstration hood has all 4 sides made of safety glass, and this hood is commonly used in educational institutions to allow students to easily view the teachers' demonstrations inside the fume hood from all angles, enhancing efficiency in teaching laboratories.
• Ductless Fume Hood
Ductless fume hoods utilize activated carbon filtration to adsorb chemical vapors and fumes. These hoods recirculate air to the laboratory, and are growing in popularity because of energy savings and the green movement.

Installation Instructions
Many fume hoods are equipped with flat or rounded sills or air foils which direct the flow of air smoothly across the work surface. Sills should not be removed or modified by the hood user. Objects should never be placed on these sills. Materials released from containers placed on the sills may not be adequately captured. In addition, an object on the sill may prevent the quick and complete closure of the sash in an emergency. Tubing is frequently used to channel exhaust to the hood from equipment located some distance away. This is not an effective control method.
Occasionally, a researcher may need local exhaust ventilation other than that provided by an existing fume hood. A new device may not be connected to an existing fume hood without the approval of the manufacturer. Adding devices to even the simplest exhaust system without adequate evaluation and adjustment will usually result in decreased performance of the existing hood and/or inadequate performance of the additional device.
Work involving harmful microorganisms should be done in a biosafety cabinet, rather than a chemical fume hood. A fume hood should not be used for waste disposal. It is a violation of environmental regulations to intentionally send waste up the hood stack.
