=========================================
If you have technicians of the uneducated sort working with the fume
extractor, you had better call it some sort of hood. You might even call it
a ventilated hood for removing dangerous fumes. In this case, it's very
important to know who your reader is. What is written on the hood? A
chemist is different in his understanding than a technician or a student.

Marilynne (who once left a lab where a student turned on a bunsen burner and
then spent a long time looking for a match and whose professor did no
teaching on the incident.)
