Bad air quality -- a word that conjures up images of clogged highways, smoggy cities and smoky chimneys -- is something you instinctively avoid to protect your outdoor environment. The effects of air pollution are just as serious in closed rooms. In many factories, workshops and other industrial facilities, particulates from dust and/or smoke pose a danger to personnel and the entire production process. However, there are simple steps that can be taken to avoid these hazards and ensure good air quality even in harsh industrial environments.
Air pollution is the number one killer of human health
Nine out of 10 people in the world live in areas where air pollution exceeds standards, with concentrations of particulate matter exceeding WHO health guidelines. Air pollution has been called the "new tobacco" which does great harm to health. WHO estimates that about seven million people die each year from exposure to air pollutants, mainly from diseases such as lung cancer, stroke, heart disease and respiratory infections such as pneumonia.
Clean air is a necessity, not a luxury
Clean air is necessary for a healthy life. Thankfully, health and safety standards in industrial sites have improved dramatically over the past few decades, covering everything from emissions control to cleaning management to indoor smoking regulations. A clean and safe working environment improves employee health, reduces equipment maintenance, increases productivity and product quality, and helps businesses attract new employees.
How and where pollutant particles are produced in the workplace
Many common industrial processes -- including grinding, milling, cutting, hardening, turning, and welding -- produce dust, smoke, and aerosols. These particles travel easily in the air, and they travel quickly and are easily inhaled by the human body. They can also spread quickly in a factory or workshop and end up on equipment surfaces, ventilation ducts, and workers' clothing. Air pollutants are not only found in traditional heavy industry, but also in places such as bakeries, hair salons and nail salons, chemical laboratories, 3D printing workshops, cosmetics, paint or feed manufacturing. Emissions from fire stations and 4S stores also cause air pollution.
Industrial IoT technology helps monitor filtration system performance and air quality
Enterprises use
Welding Fume Exhaust System, but are rarely experts in dust removal and do not know how to check the operation of the
Dust Collector. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology makes routine checks of filters easy. It monitors the performance of filters, collects relevant data, and helps users identify potential problems and make maintenance plans.
Improving air quality in industrial environments is the future trend
The use of smart dust filters to improve the air quality of industrial sites should become an industry standard. Creating a safe and healthy workplace not only contributes to sustainable development, but also ensures compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
Industrial Dust Collectors based on Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things will make air filtration more efficient in the future. The improvement of industrial air quality is about to undergo major changes, and we still have a lot to explore.
