Description

A fume hood, technically a laboratory chemical hood, is a type of local exhaust ventilation system (engineering control). … A properly used and properly functioning fume hood exhausts hazardous gases, dusts, mists, and vapors from a confined location and helps protect workers from inhalation exposure.

The escape hood is a filtering respiratory protective device for self-rescue in the event of a fire and/or chemical emission accident. Sundström Safety’s escape hood is available in several variations with different filter combinations depending on expected exposure.
