Laboratory attic with extractors and ducts for fume hoods
These photos are from the attic on a laboratory just before it was modernized. It mainly accommodates the extractors and ducts for the chemical fume hoods on the ground floor.

Tiled stairs to the attic.

Entrance from the stairs on the attic. Available light is from fluorescent tubes and dormer windows.

An extractor for a fume hood in the laboratory on the ground-floor. Each fume hood in the lab has a cupboard with sliding door for working with chemicals that can release toxic or acid fumes.

The many extractors and ducts on the attic are all made from asbestos. One of the reasons the laboratory was renovated.
5
More extractors.
6
Bags with polyethylene bottles for storing samples from the laboratory (flare on the foreground from the window).

At the other end of the attic are doors for letting in goods. From these doors you are stepping into thin air because this is an outside wall on the 1-st floor. No safety bar, no warnings. (With nice flares from the windows).
