Hunter is in lab. He clears a spot on his lab bench to start working. He also puts his lab coat and goggles on. He then identifies where all of the safety equipment is. He notices his station is next to the fume hood, which ventilates the chemicals stored there. The noise of the fume hood was bothersome, so Hunter turned it off.

Which could be an error in his set-up?

His error is turning off the fume hood. If his work station is right next to the fume hood then that means he is breathing in chemicals. He shouldn't of turned off the fume hood, he should move to another work space. And turn the fume hood back on.
