• Keeping any waste item
• You should never keep any waste item in the hood
  as it creates turbulence of air and let the
  contamination out.
• Airflow is the main thing that keeps the
  contamination away by keeping a waste item in the
  hood you create turbulence which exposes other
  clean samples to the contamination.
• Wearing any jewelry
• You must avoid taking any non sterile item in the
  hood as it has bacteria and germs.
• Jewelry is a non-sterile item, and if you are
  wearing it while using the laminar flow hood as
  it exposes harmful particles in the neat and
