Our elephant trunk exhaust system seems to work fine for just about everything we do. It is mobile within a limited range, and is powerful enough to handle fumes from acteone or acid.

Subject: Fume hoods in archaeology laboratories
Hello Listers -
I am looking for experiences, anecdotes, opinions about the necessity of
a fume hood in an archaeology laboratory setup. The laboratory in
question will have a general exhaust fan as well as Nederman extraction
trunks for targeted fume removal. A fume hood is also planned, but I'm
beginning to think it may be redundant. Some conservation entailing the
use of chemicals will occur in the laboratory, but that is not the
primary purpose/intended use of the space. (The lab supports a resource
management and research-based government archaeology program.)
Thanks for your consideration -
aloha
