A fume hood is often referred to as a fume cupboard, exhaust hood, or a chemical hood. These different names are commonly used interchangeably in laboratory settings as they all serve the same purpose. Additionally, a fume hood can also be called a safety cabinet, ventilation hood, or ductless hood depending on the design and function. Fume hoods are critical for protecting laboratory workers from harmful fumes, dust, and vapors that may be emitted during experiments and procedures. Regardless of the name, the purpose of a fume hood remains the same, which is to remove hazardous substances and maintain a safe working environment for laboratory personnel.
