Industrial air pollutants – danger to man and machine

The air in your facility is invisible. But this doesn't mean there aren’t any dangerous particles around you. We reveal which ones you should look out for.

Our air purifiers tackle all kinds of pollutants

Depending on the industry you work in, you will have different types of pollutants to deal with. Regardless what the pollutants are in your air, it’s only a matter of time before they become an issue. 

They may leave you with unnecessary cleaning costs. They could halt machinery. They can cause employee ill-health. And they could damage your corporate image. Whatever the problem, you need to do something about the pollutants in your air. 

Pollutants you should protect yourself against:

  • Fine and coarse particles 
  • Viruses, bacteria and mould 
  • Pollen 
  • Gases and odours
  • Oil and fumes  
  • Fibres 
  • Combustion particles
