Abstract

An apparatus for filtering contaminated gases. An extraction device provides a slow passage for the gases. The extracton device is in fluid communication with an intake port of a fan aggregation. The fan aggregation provides a vacuum for drawing the gases through the extraction device. The fan aggregation is rigidly supported on top of a filtration container. The gases are expelled by the fan aggregate through an exhaust port and into an interior chamber of the filtration container. A filter blocks the passage of contaminant components of the gases and permits the passage of noncontaminant of the gases from the interior chamber to the atmosphere. A gas-permeable housing surrounds the filter to retain the filter and support the weight of the aggregate.
