Creating a safe and healthy environment is important. Here, Christopher Osborne from Commercial Air Filtration provides industry-specific insights into the importance of managing the air quality in the laboratory.
Standalone air filtration systems are often the best option for a laboratory and they enable many of the UK’s leading research facilities not only to create a safer and healthier environment, but also control airborne contamination in the most cost-effective way.
Removing contamination from the air is crucial to create a healthy work environment and also to ensure compliance with Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) legislation. Furthermore, controlling airborne contamination can directly impact on laboratory research by improving results and creating fewer disruptions to work processes.
Many biomedical laboratories use a great range of chemicals on a day-to-day basis, including chloroform, formaldehyde and xylene. These chemicals can cause irritation to the nose, mouth and throat when inhaled, as well as permanent damage to the central nervous system. The less exposure we have to these chemicals and particulates, the healthier and more productive we are.
