Chemical fume extraction is a process used to remove harmful vapors, gases, and particles from the air in laboratories and industrial settings. This is typically achieved through specialized equipment, such as fume hoods and extraction systems, which capture and filter out toxic substances before they can be inhaled by workers. These systems are essential for maintaining a safe working environment, as they help prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as solvents and acids. Proper installation and maintenance of chemical fume extraction systems are crucial to ensure their effectiveness and compliance with safety regulations.
