You probably don't want to breath the byproducts of your process. This post describes some ways how to get rid of it.

Combintations
You can use the sucking tube - where the air goes in - as exhausting. You can move the tube as close as possible to your reaction/evaporation.

Those tubes are usually meant to blow/suck through. They don't suck/blow air from the sides as the "carbon filter ends" do.
I wasn't able to find any photos of usage but imagine it like this:
Air gets blown from one direction into the bottle through water (afterwards the air can be sucked out or not).

The only bad thing here is that a carbon filter end is used hence you need to move the whole filter close to the reaction. You could probably do it the opposite way: To blow into the carbon filter end so you will have a sucking tube at your working side (the byproducts would be blow through the fan into the carbon filter instead of sucked into).
This would be my dream setup:
1. You have a "easy to work" tube at your end
2. The chems have to go through the carbon filter before they touch the fan (some chems aren't nice to tech).
3. There would be an additional water filter (you could basically add any liquid in there).

Noise reduction tips:
All fans are louder without any tubes. Aluminium tubes make the most noises next to plastic. There are however isolated tubes as well, they recude the noise a little bit (same effect as stripping clothes around the tubes):
You can use a plastic box and put your fan into it. Stuff it with clothes. This will reduce the noise significantly.
Those fans are basically just a fan with their own "isolation jacket". They are significantly more silent than usual fans (when the tubes are added).
Most fans spin as fast as they get power. If they get less power they rotate less fast hence reducing noises.
Price reduction tips:
- Don't buy the items in overpriced cannabis grow shops (you end up paying up to 10x more). You can use any DIY shop (construction markets).
- Use carbon filters which allow you to replace the carbon (most of them allow you to replace the carbon anyway but those sold in cannabis grow shops are usually sealed).
- Dont buy "noise reduction tubes" or "silent fans", they work but if you have anyway clothes you don't need, it ends up cheaper just building your own "isolation box" for the fan and its cheaper to use tape the tubes with clothes to isolate the noises.
