(Study shows that half of pollution deaths around the world occur in China and India, points to need for air filtration to combat indoor pollution)

A recent study presented at the 2016 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), has found that as many as 5.5 million people die every year as a result of outdoor air pollution, highlighting the urgent need for industrial air filtration to clean indoor air.

What’s even more troubling is that more than half of those who die each year from outdoor air pollution live in China and India, which not coincidentally, happen to be the two fastest growing economies in the world.

“Air pollution is the fourth highest risk factor for death globally and by far the leading environmental risk factor for disease,” stated Michael Brauer, a Professor at the University of British Columbia’s School of Population and Public Heal..

Indoor air quality standards can help industrial consumers develop their air filtration strategies

Commercial office buildings and retail spaces are often plagued with poor indoor air quality that is the result of outdoor air pollution, which requires effective air filtration devices to eliminate contaminants.

Part of the problem is that owners of these facilities often don’t understand how air quality is measured, and what makes air quality good or bad.

And without understanding the basics of indoor air quality, it is impossible to develop an air filtration strategy that meets the unique needs of a commercial establishment.

For example, a restaurant owner will have a different set of filtration needs than the owner of a bookstore, simply because a restaurant’s cooking processes release a higher amount of particulates and odors than would be typically found in a bookstore.

Camfil a Leader in Firing Range Air Filtration Offers a Solution to Poor Indoor Air Quality
Report raises alarm bells about the poor indoor air quality and the health dangers posed by firing ranges.

A report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that many indoor firing ranges are contaminated with lead, which can affect customers who visit these places, as well those who work at the ranges, and shows the need for proper filtration to combat poor indoor air quality.

There are more than 16,000 indoor firing ranges in the U.S., and an estimated one million law enforcement personnel visit these ranges to practice the use of their firearms.

The CDC report examined blood lead levels (BLLs) in a group of people, which included law enforcement officers as well as people who worked in “amusement and recreation industries,” that included a larger number of firing ra..

Emission control has become one of the new buzzwords in many fast food restaurants, as increased awareness of air quality is forcing the owners of these facilities to provide a healthy environment for customers to come and enjoy their meals.

Recent studies related to fast food cooking have found that a number of contaminants are released into the air that could compromise the health of both employees and customers, once again showing how an effective air filtration system is necessary for good health.

Fast food restaurants serve an obvious purpose: delivering food at a rapid pace that customers can consume quickly and be on their way.

But what many fast food lovers don’t ever consider is the price of cooking with such speed is often paid by the release of contaminants that can not only significantly lower the air quality, but also cause breathing illnesses.

Camfil is uniquely qualified to partner with cleanroom operators to design a strategy that takes into account all the needs of this type of facility

Cleanrooms were invented to provide a sterile environment in which high tech products are manufactured or tested, but without an effective air filtration system, contaminants can wreak havoc at these facilities.

Federal cleanroom contamination standards point to the need for air filtration systems that can eliminate particulates reports Air Filtration Company Camfil

In fact, the sterility of cleanrooms is vital toward maintaining the integrity of any scientific research.

That’s because a cleanroom that is contaminated by particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), cannot present research as being valid.

A review of what these facilities are, and the federal standards regarding the permissible amount of contamination, is vital ..

Camfil Offers Data centers air filtration solutions for effective air filtration strategy

With worsening air pollution throughout the world, many data centers in urban areas are experiencing an increase in mechanical failures due to poor air quality, showcasing the need for an effective air filtration system.

Air pollution has become a major problem in many industrialized countries, including world cities such as Beijing, Los Angeles, Tokyo and New York, just to name a few.

These cities have struggled with pollution caused by traffic congestion, manufacturing and other processes that emit contaminants into the air.

And many of these cities feature massive data centers with large networked computers that store a company’s IT systems and equipment, vital to daily operations.

But as air pollution gets worse, the quality of air inside a data center is compromised, and that can have an..

Air filtration may hold the key to alleviating the problem of poor air quality in many hospitals

Despite the fact that hospitals are meant to be places of healing and wellness, multiple studies have shown that the air quality inside many healthcare facilities is poor, which may require hospital administrators to implement an air filtration strategy to combat the problem.

The very purpose of a hospital necessitates that it maintain a high level of cleanliness to promote the healing of patients, especially those in critical care units. But until hospital administrators and hospital staff understand the causes of poor air quality, they will not be able to address this issue and purchase the air filtration system that best matche..

Study of large urban airports finds poor air quality spreads as far as 10 miles, highlighting need for effective air filtration in airport terminals and nearby buildings

When people talk about the need for air filtration, they often overlook airports as being one of the biggest sources of air pollution in major cities.

A recent study has shed light on the reasons why airports have increasingly become sites that pose health risks not only to people who are traveling, and people who are picking up travelers, but to surrounding communities.

Airport Pollution Impact Zone

The study, which was funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and published in the journal, Environmental Science & Technology, found that airport pollution spreads out much further than experts had believed.

Previous studies that included air sampling tests had found that partulate matter ge..

With the highest filtration efficiency and lowest total cost of ownership in the industry, Camfil products can’t be beat.

For building owners, managers, operators, and maintenance personnel to make proper decisions about the equipment they use for air filtration, they need reliable and accurate information about their options. When considering a change of any kind, proper research is an absolute must. The decision to enhance or upgrade air filtration in a specific building should be based on the building, its occupants, its architectural design and engineering, and of course, feasibility and cost. Effective air filtration will improve overall indoor air quality (IAQ), promoting a healthier and more productive environment for everyone that works in the building.
