Two things that can and have caused severe injury, loss of
productivity and increased insurance costs in the workplace for many companies are hazardous
particles and VOC’s. Particles and fibers from ceramic, fiberglass, wood,
metal, as well as VOC’s from various chemicals can easily accumulate to
hazardous levels in enclosed areas, and without a proper HEPA and carbon air
filtration system running, employees and customers can easily become costly
victims of poor air quality. And it only takes one or two serious cases to
bankrupt most businesses.
Volatile organic chemicals are present in many household
products and any company that manufactures, stores, uses or transports them has
the possibility of having contaminated, hazardous indoor air quality. These products include, but are not limited
to, solvents, paints, varnishes, waxes, cleaning products, disinfecting
products, cosmetics, degreasing products, hobby products, and various types of
petroleum based fuels. And all of these
products release organic compounds or
VOC’s while you are using them, and often slow release while they are stored—leading
to airborne VOC’s that are circulated by air handlers, fans and ambient,
polluting every area of the indoor space.
The effects of airborne particles, fibers, and VOC’s on
humans can range from very unpleasant and troublesome in the short term to
devastating and fatal in the long term.
Depending on the chemical or particle, short term effects can range from
sinus and respiratory irritation and skin rashes, headaches, etc. Medium to long term effects (2-5 years) can
range from everything from cardiovascular disease, cancer, brain disorders, and
many other serious illnesses.
The simplest
way to prevent these hazards is to buy a proper industrial VOC air cleaner and make sure it's a unit with a HEPA filter. These types of air purifiers, with both activated carbon to remove VOC's and HEPA to remove particles, are designed to remove
the pollutants that cause the problems,
to a 99.97% level in most cases. And since they are commercial-grade, the filters usually last 2-5 years, depending on the level of pollutants. Positive air filtration units are very useful for keeping VOC's and particles from flowing into a building from the outside through cracks and crevices, and some companies use these when pollutants are being vented to the outside in a nearby workshop or plant.
This one smart step can easily prevent the poor air quality situation that could ruin
the business and the good name you’ve worked so hard to build. And, of course it's a write-off tax-wise, and you might even get a discount on your insurance because you installed an air cleaner system. One word of caution, however: don't try to use a home air purifier in an industrial setting--they're not the same and can do more harm than good.
