<h1>Industrial Air Cleaning: Why Ventilation Hoods Aren’t Always Effective</h1>

If your business involves employees exposed to harmful particles, fumes, smoke and other airborne pollutants on a regular basis, you’ve probably already taken some steps to reduce the amount of pollutants in the air, such as respirators, an exhaust or ventilation system of some sort, etc. 

 

What many business owners don’t think about, however, is that when tons of air pollutants, particles & fumes are ventilated to the outside on a daily basis, the air surrounding the building often gets quite polluted and unfortunately, HVAC systems that are constantly running are often sucking that pollution right back into the building—which is even worse when the output of ventilation hoods is near the intake of the HVAC system!

 

And some of the chemical waste or pollution is ‘heavier than air’ so it doesn’t float away but sinks or hangs around the building, only to be taken in by the HVAC intake. Believe it or not, this does happen. And, when workers frequently step out back for a smoke break, they often get a dose of chemicals and particles along with the smoke they’d hoped to enjoy. Leaks in a building or warehouse also let these pollutants back in, creating more indoor air pollution.

 

This is one of the more dangerous sources of air pollution that often goes undetected and business owners then can’t figure out why they are having employee health problems, increased insurance and medical costs, lower productivity and even OSHA complaints. Solving the problem is actually quite easy with the proper commercial or industrial-grade HEPA air cleaner systems in place.

 

Whether it’s a portable negative air cleaner for smoke removal, or an HVAC based air filtration system, having something with a good HEPA filter and a substantial carbon filter ensures that the particle, dust, smoke, and chemical pollutants will be captured and removed, not just vented to the outside to be sucked in again.

 

And for a real ventilation hood, install one with a filtration unit attached so, again, the pollutants are being trapped, not recirculated back into the building. This is why the best commercial negative air purifiers have filters in them, not just a fan. For situations where the air needs to be sanitized, UV lights can be added to many Electrocorp commercial air cleaners, for example, for extra bacteria & mold killing power, as well as filtration.

 

And don’t forget about the offices—often these offices are not that far from the work site or warehouse work areas and can be even more of a hazard as the pollutants can build up in that small room and become trapped, which gives the occupants a dose of pollutants that is several times higher than the workers might be exposed to! 

 The point is that if you install the right type of commercial air purifier system, air scrubber, source-capture ventilation hoods, etc, the first time, you won’t have to worry about any of the potential business-crippling problems caused by poor indoor air quality.  The fact that you're avoiding thousands or potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, lawsuits or reduced productivity makes industrial air scrubber cost  seem very small in comparison.

 

Whatever industrial or commercial air purification system or unit you choose, ensure that it does, in fact, have a HEPA filter and at least 20 pounds of industrial strength activated carbon so that it will remove the pollutants effectively. And if there are specific chemical compounds present, consult with the manufacturer for a custom carbon blend that will be designed to remove that pollutant. Electrocorp provides this valuable service to help make sure that commercial business owners get protection and air quality control they can depend on.
