Idealized Air Quality Regulation: A One-Atmosphere Approach
After almost 40 years of experience with the U.S. Clean Air Act (CAA), many of the original goals of the regulation have been achieved. The CAA and its subsequent amendments have been driven largely by science and technology, linking the Earth’s atmosphere with public health and welfare and sources of pollution. Knowledge in the 1960s about the atmosphere that influenced air pollution has been ...

Addressing your industrial indoor air quality questions
Modular air filtration empowers factory workers to focus on their task at hand — free from indoor air quality (IAQ) concerns and unencumbered by clunky PPE equipment. There’s also the added benefit of keeping OSHA and other compliance watch dogs at bay. But, what are the specific IAQ requirements under OSHA? What bottom-line benefits does industrial air filtration offer OEMs? And ...

4 Signs Of Poor Indoor Air Quality To Watch For
The quality of indoor air is something most of us take for granted. Unless there is something very specific and unusual going on around us, like heavy cleaning or maybe new construction, we don’t often think about whether or not there is anything wrong with the air we breathe as we go about our daily business. The truth is, though, that indoor air quality is often worse than outdoors. Poor ...

Oil Contamination: The preventative measures you need to take
One of the major differences between micro-abrasive blasting and other types of sandblasting is the precision of the process. This is partly achieved by using very fine, tightly-classified abrasives. A clean, dry air supply must be provided to allow abrasive media to flow without interruption. If the air line becomes contaminated with moisture or oil, the effectiveness of the process ...
