Flow of furnace and ingress gases in a Peirce-Smith converter hood. The purple streamlines show how ingress air enters the hood beneath the hood-gate, mixes with SO₂ from the converter, and then exits through the gap at the top of the hood gate. Thus large quantities of SO₂ leak from the hood and contaminate the surrounding environment.
