A fume cupboard is used to safely handle chemicals that release harmful fumes. It is commonly used in chemistry labs, medical colleges, and research institutes. The equipment has a ventilated enclosure that pulls hazardous vapors away from the user. Students place chemicals inside the hood, close the glass shield, and switch on the exhaust. It protects users from inhaling toxic gases. It also prevents chemicals from spreading into the room. Mainly used during experiments involving acids, solvents, and volatile substances. Ensures safety and air purity. Essential for chemical handling and medical lab training.
