What our Customers are Saying“Removes all Dust and Odors…”“Methodist Hospital has used the Abatement portable air scrubber for numerous projects. It has really come in handy with our current renovation for a new minimal invasive surgery suite. This machine removes all dust and odors, and creates a negative pressure for our infection control issues for JCAHO. I highly recommend this machine for any healthcare institution that has any construction, renovation or painting projects!”R.D.
