Summary

The paper proposes a terminology for the local exhaust ventilation devices used in laboratories and describes the operating principles of these devices and the fields in which they are used. The equipment concerned can be grouped into two main categories: enclosing devices (fume cupboards, microbiological safety cabinets, laminar flow hoods, chemical hoods, glove boxes with air purification) and induction devices (mobile extractor heads, suction tables, non-physical hoods and covers). The principles of regulations governing laboratory ventilation are also presented, together with general remarks on air purification.
