In industrial settings, noxious airborne contaminants from a variety of sources can jeopardize indoor air quality, compromising worker health, productivity, and even regulatory compliance unless the air is sufficiently purified when ventilation alone will not solve the problem.
Welding, plasma cutting, or combustion processes including engines and generators can produce noxious smoke and exhaust gases. Fugitive emissions can include fumes in chemical processing, as well as dusts and trace metals in metallurgy. Industrial solvents can contain chemical aromatics like benzene, toluene, or xylene. Spraying paint or other substances can leave chemical mists suspended in the air. Various processes and cleaning routines can release a complete spectrum of often-harmful VOCs.
