Hoods and cabinets
Always check the performance of a fume hood before using it. A piece of tissue hanging on the bottom of the hood's door should be moving inwards when the sash door is closed at 2/3 of the way down. Report any problems to the room owner or to Anna McNicoll, (514) 398-6406 in W4/14. Some highly hazardous products, such as perchloric acid, can only be used in a "wash down fume hood" especially designed to handle this kind of chemical. Ask the room owner for permission and instruction on how to use it. Keep the fume hood uncluttered, overstocking disturbs the airflow and puts you in danger.
WARNING !!! NOT ALL HOODS ARE FUME HOODS !!!
There are different types of hoods to work in:
- FUME HOODS
Protect you from fumes you are working with. The fan sucks in the air toward the duct inside of the fume hood towards the outside. This system works only if you bring the hood's door down at least 2/3 of the way. The narrower the opening, the swifter the air.
