While BSCs are essential tools in toxicology, they have limitations:
- Not Suitable for All Chemicals: BSCs are designed primarily for biological hazards and may not provide adequate protection against all chemical fumes. For chemical protection, additional ventilation systems such as fume hoods may be necessary. - Proper Use Requirement: The effectiveness of BSCs depends heavily on correct usage and maintenance. Improper use can compromise safety. - Size Constraints: BSCs have limited space, which can be a constraint for certain experimental setups requiring larger equipment.
