Clean Air Solution by Camfil USA. Leader in Air Filters for Commercial and Industrial applications.

Camfil is the market leader when it comes to the delicate balance needed for the unique air ventilation of the automotive industry.

One of the most important parts of automotive painting is the design and construction of the air circulation and filtration system for the paint booth. Air within the booth needs to be kept clean not only for health reasons, but also to achieve good results with the painting process itself. Chemicals and particles left in the air from the paint are, of course, hazardous to humans and the environment and must be removed. Dust, dirt and other particles are also a problem as they can affect how the paint adheres to surfaces, as well as how it looks when the painting process is complete.

In addition to the need to remove all of these different particles from the air, the way the air in the paint booth circulates is also a concern. Air that moves too rapidly,..

Camfil’s products will increase your filtration and energy efficiency based on real life data

Data centers are something we deal with every day of our lives without realizing it. We are, quite literally, surrounded by data centers, both virtually and physically. Our phones, tablets, computers and even our televisions run on technology that relies on data centers to feed us the information we are looking for at any given moment. You probably can’t drive more than 5 miles in any urban area without going past a data center. They are not so obvious from the outside, looking like any common building, but they are there.

Data centers come in all sizes, from some that are made up of just a handful of computers to others that fill the massive spaces of multiple buildings. Some even share the load and work together as one, even though they exist in separate buildings, thousands of miles apart…

If you’re unsure about the quality of the air in the places where you spend most of your day Camfil shares a few things you need to look for and solutions for a healthier environment

The quality of indoor air is something most of us take for granted. Unless there is something very specific and unusual going on around us, like heavy cleaning or maybe new construction, we don’t often think about whether or not there is anything wrong with the air we breathe as we go about our daily business.

The truth is, though, that indoor air quality is often worse than outdoors. Poor air circulation and well sealed, energy efficient buildings combine to trap and cause the buildup of many hazardous pollutants and contaminants in the areas where we spend most of our time. In fact, health problems resulting from poor indoor air quality have become so common that they have been given a name: sick build..

If you live or work near an airport, making the choice to filter the air in your indoor environments could be the single most important thing you can do to improve your own health as well as that of coworkers and family.

The evolution of air travel has changed the world over the last few decades. As the airline industry continues to grow, the world continues to shrink. It’s easier and cheaper than ever before for people to fly from one place to another, be it for pleasure or for business. It is estimated that, in the U.S. alone, 23,000 commercial planes take off and land every day. That’s an average of 16 planes every minute, 24 hours a day.

Unfortunately though, one side effect of the rapid growth of the airline industry is a rapid rise in the levels of air pollution in and around airports. The exhaust left behind by hundreds of planes coming and going every day, coupled with emissio..

Indoor Air Pollution Can Cause Health Issues
Did you know that air fresheners, candles, furniture, carpets & many other items create indoor air pollutants and are a Health Risk Says Camfil Air Filtration Experts!

When you mention air pollution, most people automatically think of smog around cities and factories, or millions of cars racing from one place to another leaving trails of fumes behind them as they go. As dangerous as outdoor air pollution is though, indoor air quality is often a much higher concern when it comes to the level of pollutants in the air.

Some pollutants make their way into homes and buildings and become trapped, building up over time. Others are let loose by the occupants themselves as they go about maintenance and cleaning, or even just trying to rid an area of an unpleasant odor. Because the air in indoor environments doesn’t circulate freely, many contamina..

Camfil air filtration products meet the tough standards that are required to make sure a biosafety lab is exactly that, safe.

A biosafety lab is a specialized research laboratory that deals with infectious agents. Some are designed for research, while others are performing some kind of production activity, but proper protection is of the utmost importance for the safety of everyone working in and around a biosafety lab. Protection is not only important for those working in a building with a biosafety lab, but also for the environment and the community around the laboratory.

The protection that is required for any biosafety laboratory is defined by what are known as biosafety levels. There are four levels, which are determined by the types of agents or organisms that the laboratory is working with. As the biosafety level increases, there are more requirements and constraints added to ..

Camfil provides a full range of air filtration systems designed specifically for the sensitive needs of the food and beverage industry

Air Filter Leader Camfil Discusses Airborne Contamination in Food Processing

In the food and beverage industry, contamination is always a high priority concern. Small mistakes in handling, preparation, and even in the cleaning of the environment where food comes into contact with surfaces can cause disastrous results that can potentially affect hundreds of thousands of people.

Often overlooked is the threat from another source of food contact: air.

Air is an Ingredient in Food

Outdoor air can naturally carry anywhere from 200 to 1500 bacteria per cubic meter. The natural defense mechanisms in our living bodies respond to most potential hazards from these bacteria with ease. However, that’s not always the case with food as anyone who has left meat ..

Clean air is possible anywhere with the City M Air purifier from Camfil

The quality of the indoor air we breathe is a concern for everyone, especially those in urban environments where contaminant and particle levels are higher due to nearly constant exposure to things like automobile and truck exhausts, construction, and fumigation.

Unfortunately for most people, when it comes to the quality of the air in the buildings where they spend most of their time, they are at the mercy of the ventilation systems in those buildings and have no say as to how those systems operate, or whether or not they can be improved. In other cases, building managers may want to do something to improve indoor air quality, but financial and architectural constraints make it difficult, or even impossible, to improve or renovate the existing HVAC systems.

Clean Air is Possible Anywhere

A cleanroom is a specially constructed environment designed to maintain low levels of airborne pollutants such as dust, aerosol particles and microbes.

Cleanrooms are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and microelectronic products as well as for many types of scientific research and life science industries.

For more than fifty years Camfil has been a leading supplier of air filtration products and services to the Life Science Industry. Today, Camfil is clearly recognized as the leading global air filter supplier to the industry

Cleanrooms are classified at different levels, designated one through nine by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Each ISO cleanroom level allows for a certain number of particles of a certain size per cubic meter of air. Higher ISO levels allow for more contaminants in the air, with ISO class 1 being the cleanest and cla..

When it comes to indoor air quality, few places have needs and requirements as demanding as hospitals and medical centers. Not only can patients’ conditions be aggravated by airborne dust and allergens, but many diseases and illnesses can be spread through the air as well.

Clean But Still Contaminated

The need for a medical facility to remain clean can sometimes become a double-edged sword. There is an obvious need to remove harmful virus and bacteria from the environment, but the cleaning products used to do so can leave behind all kinds of pollutants that are harmful to staff and patients in other ways.

Cleaning products, paints and floor finishes often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are released into the air during and after use. Many times the fragrances used to give these cleaning products their sweet or clean smell are actually the worst offenders. It could act..
