Fume extraction is a process used to remove harmful gases, vapors, and particles from the air in various environments, such as laboratories and industrial workplaces. This is essential for maintaining air quality and protecting the health of workers. Fume extraction systems typically use fans, filters, and ducts to capture and filter out contaminants before releasing clean air back into the environment. These systems can be found in settings where processes like welding, soldering, or chemical handling occur. Effective fume extraction helps reduce the risk of respiratory issues and other health problems associated with exposure to hazardous substances, ensuring a safer workplace for employees.
