Protecting Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) During Indoor Construction & Maintenance Activities
Construction and maintenance activities can pose serious challenges
for facility managers. Even routine and seemingly harmless maintenance
activities, such as replacement of drop ceiling tiles or fluorescent
lamps, can release potentially harmful airborne pollutants and dust
particles. These dust particles can contain the mold Aspergillus, which
can cause life-threatening infections called Aspergillosis in people
with weak immune response systems. |
 |
Why Wait for Potential Problems to Occur?
Poor IAQ can lead to increased operating costs, project downtime and potential
exposure to lawsuits. Why wait for potential problems to occur when such an
effective and economical solution is readily available?
|
Abatement Technologies products
are designed to provide an effective and economical indoor air pollution
solution before, during and after construction, renovation and maintenance
activities. This is achieved by creating, maintaining and monitoring
“negative air pressure” work
enclosures to capture potentially harmful airborne contaminants
within the negative pressure zone. |
HEPA Filtration is Proven to be Effective
The effectiveness of HEPA filtration and negative pressure controls in controlling
exposure to dust, mold spores, asbestos fibers and other microscopic airborne
contaminants is well documented. When properly implemented, these practices
can prevent contaminants from migrating into occupied parts of a building,
greatly reducing the threat of exposure to workers and facility occupants.
Abatement HEPA-AIRE® Portable
Air Scrubbers (PAS) are the perfect portables for construction, maintenance
and repair jobs. These user-friendly upright units are designed to operate
24/7 in one of the following versatile modes of operation:
|  |
- Negative pressure mode with the PAS located inside of the
containment zone:
The PAS pulls in contaminated air, filters out contaminants and propels
the filtered air outside the containment zone through flexible ducting
to negatively pressurize the work area.
|
|
- Negative pressure mode with the PAS located outside of the
containment zone:
Inlet ducting is used to pull contaminated air out of the
zone to negatively pressurize it. Contaminants are removed by the
PAS unit which is typically located adjacent to containment barrier
so contaminated air can be fed directly into the inlet. Filtered air
is ducted outside or to another area as required.
|
| 
|
- Continuous air cleaning and recirculation:
The PAS is located within the containment zone with no inlet
or exhaust ducting, so there is no affect on room pressurization.
The PAS accelerates the removal rate of airborne contaminants.
|
|
- Positive pressure:
HEPA-AIRE portable air scrubbers can also be used to create and maintain
positive pressure zones.
