1. Local exhaust ventilation (LEV)

This method of ventilation is based on the principle of capturing the contaminant at source before it spreads into the room air. An LEV capture device or extract hood is used. LEV is the most effective method of contaminant extraction and it is widely used in industrial ventilation particularly where localized sources of hazardous contaminants are present.
