Solder Fume Extractor, Extraction System 8 to 20 Stations

Solder Fume Extractor, Extraction System Multiple Station


Why are solder (chemical fumes, odors) fume extractors important:

People can become permanently sensitized to solder fumes. As a result continued exposure may cause asthma and other respiratory health issues depending on the amount of exposure. Employees should be protected from these health risks by using the best fume extraction systems available.


Why fume extraction is essential for personnel:

Worker safety is critically important in soldering applications. A well-designed and maintained dust and fume collection system is needed to prevent respiratory problems and keep facilities in compliance with current air-quality standards. In some cases, a good dust collection and ventilation system can eliminate the need for personal respirators and the challenge of getting employees to wear them.


Why should companies use fume extraction systems:

Many industrial processes such as soldering, laser processing and welding all produce dust and fumes which are hazardous to health and which can also reduce productivity or increase rejected products. Fumes can also damage expensive production equipment and cause extensive downtime for repair and/or cleaning. Many local and international health and safety regulations require the employer to protect personnel from hazardous dust and fumes. Failure to do so can result in expensive compensation claims and fines.


Possible health symptoms due to soldering smoke

■ headaches;
■ fatigue;
■ irritability;
■ constipation;
■ nausea;
■ stomach pains;
■ amnesia
■ dizzyness;
■ loss of weight.


Continued uncontrolled exposure could cause far more serious symptoms such as:

■ kidney damage;
■ nerve and brain damage.
■ cancer

Reduce exposure to new carpet smell fumes odor offgasing

Chemically Sensitive to Off-gasing, Odor, Chemical Fumes from New Carpeting at Home or at the Office??

There’s a relief – reduce your exposure to harmful, irritant, chemical fumes, odors, gases – with the help of an activated charcoal, activated carbon, chemical filter equipped air filtration system aka air purifiers, air cleaners, air scrubbers.

If you are confused as to how a new carpet carries this irritating smell, then I must mention that it is a industrially processed product. It's quite obvious that it will smell of the chemicals used during its manufacturing. As a matter of fact, new carpets are made from synthetic fibers and other chemicals like latex, soil repellents, flameCarpet retardants, anti static sprays, artificial dyes, urethane and mainly VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) like formaldehyde, acetone, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, styrene which are supposed to be highly toxic in nature. These are often the cause of nausea, fatigue, hair loss, headache, dizziness, irritation as well as nerve damage, respiratory disorders, allergies, rashes, asthma, loss of memory, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Environmental Illness (EI), nervous system disorders, etc. During warmer temperatures, off gassing of these volatile compounds, in the form of vapors, occur. These vapors persist in the rooms when you buy the new carpet and can well extend to persist up to months and years. These chemicals are also known to be carcinogenic, so just be careful when next time you go to buy a new carpet. You all must have heard of carpet adhesives, I am sure! These adhesives are basically latex compounds, usually styrene butadiene and 4-PC (phenylchlorohexene) generally used for backing the new carpet. These are again highly toxic and detrimental to our health. Along with adults, these odors are generally said to affect children or pets more, if you have any at home. So make sure you buy a good quality carpet which will be nontoxic and serve you the purpose as well!

Toxic substances- home, office remodeling, renovations

Lead-based paint in older homes constitutes a health risk.

Without adequate training and precaution, renovators, energy retrofitters and do-it-yourselfers who disturb lead-based paint, asbestos insulation and other toxic materials in older buildings put the health of all — especially children — living there at risk of serious health impacts.

Lead exposure can lead to lowered intelligence and worse; asbestos exposure can potentially lead to debilitating long term illness, and certain materials used in renovation can increase other health risks, experts warn in a new report by the Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA).

“Many families in Canada struggle with high energy costs and retrofits help ease the financial burden while aiding the fight against climate change,” says CELA Executive Director Theresa McClenaghan.

“Retrofits, done right, will also make these families’ homes healthier and prevent health problems known to result from mould or inadequate heating and ventilation. Unless care is taken to avoid the release of toxic chemicals and ensure proper ventilation, however, such renovations can create serious health risks, especially for children.”

Report outlines greatest dangers in home retrofitting

The report, “Healthy Retrofits: The Case for Better Integration of Children’s Environmental Health Protection into Energy Efficiency Programs,” offers recommendations for improvement in several areas, including the coverage and design of government energy efficiency incentive programs and policies, the training of energy auditors, the education of contractors and public awareness of the issues.

The main concerns in home renovations were:

-    Lead. Lead was widely used in lead paints and can make its way into the air during renovation work.
-    Asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen for which, like lead, there is no safe exposure level. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release microscopic fibres into the air.
-    PCBs. Buildings constructed or renovated in Canada between 1950 and 1978 may also have Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)-contaminated caulk around windows and door frames and in other masonry building materials. PCBs cause cancer in animals.

Choosing healthy building materials

The report notes that sealing and tightening a building to improve energy efficiency can reduce air exchange, resulting in more concentrated levels of indoor pollutants and potential health troubles.

New building materials such as such as caulking, sealants, glues and insulation that contain volatile organic compounds can off-gas or release toxic chemicals such as benzene, toluene and formaldehyde.

Recent studies have shown that the risk of asthma and respiratory diseases increases in infants or children exposed to formaldehyde or particleboard with formaldehyde-based glues, phthalates or plastic materials and paint fumes.

Polystyrene insulation material also carries potential health risks. It is manufactured by combining two carcinogens, ethylene and benzene, to produce ethylbenzene, which then forms styrene. Polystyrene often contains the flame retardant, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a long-lasting compound associated with decreased fertility and effects on the thyroid gland.

Seek out information before starting renovations

  • The US EPA offers a free handbook, “Renovate Right”
  • The Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment has a Safe Renovations Fact Sheet Series that will be augmented with additional educational materials as the Healthy Retrofits project moves forward. For more information, go to www.healthyenvironmentforkids.ca

Fragrance Sensitivity In The Workplace

Accommodating Fragrance Sensitivity In The Workplace

Severe allergies may be considered disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), particularly since the definition of disability has been significantly expanded under the ADA Amendments Act.  Employers have a legal duty to reasonably accommodate affected employees who request accommodation.

The city of Detroit found this out the hard way when a city employee with multiple chemical sensitivity sued the city under the ADA for refusing to accommodate her disability.

A co-worker who wore heavy perfume and used a plug-in room deodorizer had transferred into the department in close proximity to the employee, causing the employee to become ill.  The employee asked the co-worker to refrain from using these fragrances; the co-worker stopped using the room deodorizer but continued wearing the perfume.  The employee complained to her supervisor, and although the possibility of relocating either the employee's or the co-worker's workstation was discussed, no steps were ever taken to remedy the situation.  The employee took multiple sick days and leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and finally sued the city. | Rest of the Article from Business Management Daily |

HEPA Filtration & Activated Charcoal / Carbon Filtration

Activated carbon / activated charcoal is widely recognized as the safest, most effective way to treat odors and chemicals, while HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Air) filters are the gold standard for removing particles. Together they provide the most complete and versatile air cleaning system available. Both tried and proven filtration medias.

About "Activated" Carbon

Carbon that is 'activated' undergoes a process that opens up millions of tiny pores and fissures to enhance the material's adsorbent properties. The process creates a very large internal surface area, which is key to the power of activated carbon - the more surface area - the more the carbon can adsorb. Only one pound of activated carbon typically has a surface area of 125 acres. Activated carbon is so effective that it's used in military gas masks. | multi-stage filtration process |

About HEPA Filters

HEPA stands for high efficiency particulate air filter and describes a filter that can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in diameter. Particles of this size are used to evaluate the performance of a filter because they are among the most difficult to remove. However, particles that are larger or smaller than 0.3 microns can be filtered with even greater efficiency due to the nature of the filter’s design. True HEPA filters are composed of a dense web of fibers designed to trap particles. This type of filter was first used in the 1940’s to trap radioactive contaminants in the air and protect scientists who were developing the first nuclear weapons. Today, HEPA is considered the safest and most efficient method to treat airborne particles. | multi-stage filtration process |

Fireplace Wood Burning Stove Smoke Fumes Odor Air Purifiers

During the winter months, the warmth, sound and smell of a crackling fire in the fireplace or wood burning stove can be a relief from the cold and dreary outdoors.

However, the smoke from a fireplace or wood burning stove can be particularly rough on those with lung and heart health issues - allergy sufferers and those who suffer from asthma. There is help and relief for this situation.

The smoke from the fireplace or wood burning stove contains a mixture of gases and fine particles, with the fine particles being the biggest health threat. These microscopic fine particles are also called particulate matter. They can cause health problems such as burning eyes, runny nose and, more seriously, bronchitis.

In addition, these airborne particle matter can also aggravate chronic heart and lung problems. Those most susceptible to the effects of this smoke are the elderly, senior adults (who are more likely to suffer from chronic heart and lung issues), people with asthma, emphysema or even children, whose respiratory systems are still developing.

Air purifiers, air cleaners, air filters, air scrubbers, air filtration systems are designed to remove and filter out these fine particles from the air, making breathing cleaner and easier, as you enjoy the warmth from the crackling fire in your fireplace or wood stove. In addition, an air purifier, air cleaner, air filtration system will also clean the air of other harmful airborne particles, including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold and bacteria. If you've avoided lighting a fire during the winter due to health issues, consider investing in an air purifier- they can be very helpful in reducing / removing harmful particles from your indoor air and help you and your family to enjoy your fireplace or wood burning stove during the cold months of winter.

Fragrance Perfume Sensitivity Intolerance Air Cleaner Filtration

It’s going to be difficult to pinpoint any one scent perpetrator since they can come from lotions, shampoos and other products. The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) offers this series of symptoms that can help you determine whether an employee has a vulnerability to fragrances:

  • Frequent headaches
  • Respiratory ailments
  • Nausea
  • Itchy or burning eyes
  • Sneezing, runny nose or congestion
  • Difficulty with concentration

And in more severe cases, individuals may be afflicted with a skin allergy called contact dermatitis, which causes redness, itching and burning of the skin. Whether fragrance sensitivity becomes a medical condition is determined on a case-by-case basis.1

To help prevent an employee’s situation from worsening or possibly causing a leave of absence, implementing a few modifications may be in order. Here are a few suggestions to consider.2

  • Maintain good indoor air quality
  • Discontinue the use of fragranced products
  • Use only unscented cleaning products
  • Provide scent-free meeting rooms and restrooms
  • Modify workstation location
  • Modify the work schedule
  • Allow for fresh air breaks
  • Provide an air purification system
  • Modify communication methods
  • Modify or create a fragrance-free workplace policy
