ATT Fume Cupboards or Fume Hoods

More Information

A fume cupboard is a partially enclosed workplace that is designed to prevent the spread of fume to operators and other personnel. It is ventilated by an induced flow of air through a sash opening or working aperture that maybe adjusted.

The fume cupboard captures the fumes and they are directed by means of an exhaust system including a sucking fan. This arrangement ensures the safe and remote discharge of fumes outside the building. 

In American usage, a "laboratory hood" or "fume hood" means a laboratory fume cupboard.
