Fume Extractors for Pharmaceutical and Medical Applications

A variety of processes in the pharmaceutical and medical industries can produce fumes, dust and bacteria which are harmful to health if inhaled. For example

NEX S is approved for zone 21/1 (dust and gas) in accordance with the ATEX directive 94/9EC, Group II, equipment category 2.

As of July 2006, organisations in EU must follow the directives to protect employees from explosion risk in areas with a explosive atmospheres. 

the ATEX 95 equipment directive 94/9/EC, Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres;

the ATEX 137 workplace directive 99/92/EC, Minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres.

Fume extractors for welding fume and grinding dust

The high temperature generated when welding or grinding material can produce hazardous fumes and dust. These fumes can cause occupational asthma, long term carcinogenic diseases and other serious complaints. The result of these illnesses can be expensive compensation claims from employees, long term sickness and poor employee relations, plus heavy penalties from enforcement agencies.

Fume from welding, flame cutting and other ‘hot work’ varies greatly and may cause dryness of the throat, tickling, coughing, tightness of the chest and difficulty in breathing. Long- term changes in the lung are possible. Harmful fumes and gases during welding in the automotive industry include those from primer and paint layers, other surface coatings such as underseal, and from lead in car bodies. Activities that produce harmful fumes include:

More Harmful Dusts – Body Filling/Preparation

Most body fillers are reinforced with glass fibre or metal and consist of a thermosetting polyester in a solvent (usually styrene) which is hardened by a catalyst. All work with such fillers generates toxic fume and dust; the catalyst is often a corrosive irritant and some are strong skin sensitizers causing dermatitis.

Lead is sometimes used in body preparation work and finishing operations can release high concentrations of fine dust which is a serious health hazard.  The soldering process itself can produce some, if not all, of the following fumes:

These fumes can cause occupational asthma, long term carcinogenic diseases and other serious complaints. The result of these illnesses can be expensive compensation claims from employees, long term sickness and poor employee relations, plus heavy penalties from enforcement agencies.
