Ps. I am planning on making a simple fume hood and i have seen that there are hood systems you can buy that have charcoal scrubbers. My question is,
if i were to install a charcoal filter scrubber in some way, will it make a difference with reducing the toxicity aswell the smell of the fumes?
I really don't want to pollute the air, and anger the neighbours more then necessary.

Charcoal scrubbers work by absorbing gasses (Correct me if I'm wrong) in bubbles in the carbon particulate. So it probably would prevent the release
of most gasses it could absorb. (Meaning as long as it can hold more, it should protect from poisonous gasses) Regardless, don't test it w/ HCN
