What is the main purpose of a hazardous exhaust system?

The primary purpose of a hazardous exhaust system is to remove hazardous gases. These systems are specifically designed to filter out and expel dangerous substances such as fumes, vapors, and other airborne contaminants that can pose serious health risks to occupants in a commercial space or industrial environment. By effectively siphoning off these harmful gases, a hazardous exhaust system helps to prevent buildup and ensures that the air within the space remains safer for workers and reduces the risk of combustion or other hazardous incidents.

In contrast, while regulating temperature, maintaining air quality, and providing fresh air are important aspects of overall ventilation systems, they do not specifically address the need to eliminate hazardous gases. These tasks can be components of a broader HVAC system but are not the defining function of a hazardous exhaust system. The focus here is on the safety and health aspects associated with the removal of harmful substances.
