Abstract

Fume extraction apparatus comprises filters (4, 5, 6) to remove fumes from air, and a semi-conductor type detector (13) which is located downstream of the filters to detect fumes in the filtered air and which is adapted to issue a warning signal to indicate the presence of fumes. Control means (15) calibrates the apparatus under one or more known fume conditions so as to trigger said warning signal at a predetermined level of fumes. A sample of air is tested on a continuous basis by drawing air via conduits (10, 11) through a chamber (12) containing the detector (13). Filters (4, 5, 6) remove particles from the air, and a pressure detector (16) detects the drop in pressure across the filters and issues a warning signal for a predetermined pressure drop corresponding to a predetermined level of blockage of the filters.
