As you prepare for your facilities fall / winter cleaning, don't forget to add air purification to the list. Since many viruses are transmitted via airborne, they can stay viable for many hours. this means our attention needs to focus on keeping the air in your facility as clean as possible. IAQ is important, not only to your employees, but to any visitor traffic your building receives. It is essential to have a way to purify the air from these toxic pollutants. The best way to do this is through the use of air purification systems, air scrubbing systems or air filters.
Air Purification Systems are a great way to improve your facility’s indoor air quality (IAQ) as well as fight against the spread of bacteria and viruses throughout your facility.
Air Filters – an air filter can only filter out particulate matter before it has time to spread into the air.
Air Purifiers – an air purifier is an air cleaning device that captures and kills contaminants within the purifier itself. Air purifiers use one or more filtration and air treatment methods to remove pollutants from the air. Air purifiers that use HEPA filtration can filter air particles down to 0.3 microns in size with a 99.97%.
Air Scrubbers – an air scrubber is an air cleaning device that utilizes a sear and retrieve method to eliminate contaminants in the indoor air. Air scrubbers are also available with HEPA filtration, allowing you to filter air particles down to 0.3 microns in size at 99.97% efficiency rating.
In addition, they can work alongside a variety of three-stage HEPA negative air machines, which feature replaceable forest, second, and third filters. Air scrubbers are excellent for construction and healthcare organizations as they are highly effective at removing both airborne and settled dust and bacteria.
No matter what industry you serve, making sure the air you breathe is clean and healthy is of the highest importance. Air purification systems are a helpful way to improve IAQ and combat contaminates in:
ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning) states that Indoor air is the dominant pathway for exposure to airborne contaminants given that people spend the majority of their time indoors, and indoor air commonly contains numerous contaminants originating from both indoor and outdoor sources. Many of the contaminants impact health, comfort, well-being, learning outcomes and work performance. It is important that IAQ is considered in the design, construction and operation of buildings and HVAC systems. Portable Air Purification devices are helpful to combat many of these contaminants, especially in aging structures where traditional HVAC Systems may have diminished efficiency.
