Every sector has its own hazardous substances. That is why BMAir offers special systems and filters for various sectors.
When it comes to the clean-up of structural and wildfires it is typically carried out by heavy equipment, exposing those operators to the same carcinogens as the fire fighter collected in the ash combined with quartz dust or asbestos fibres that can lead to serious or fatal health problems. Firefighting and post-fire cleanup are high-risk operations where operators face dangerous airborne hazards that require specialized protection. BMAir systems provide superior filtration and ventilation to safeguard operators from harmful particulates, toxic gases, and hazardous fibres released during these operations.
Burning materials like plastics, chemicals, and treated wood release hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Exposure to these toxic gases can result in severe respiratory damage, neurological issues, cardiovascular problems, and even death.
Combustion processes generate fine particles (PM2.5 and smaller) that can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing lung damage, reduced lung function, asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure significantly increases the risk of chronic respiratory illnesses.
During structural fires involving older buildings, quartz or asbestos-containing materials can be disturbed, releasing tiny dust particles and microscopic fibres into the air. Inhalation of these particles and/or fibres causes severe lung damage, including silicosis, asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer and more. Asbestos exposure is especially hazardous during post-fire demolition or debris removal.
BMAir’s advanced Protective Ventilation Systems offer unparalleled protection against the most harmful airborne hazards faced by firefighters and cleanup crews. With multi-stage filtration including HEPA filters and activated carbon filters, BMAir systems ensure operators are safeguarded from:
Stay protected with the industry’s most reliable protective ventilation technology.
Contact with these substances, through the airways or even the pores in the skin, can lead to serious health problems. The company and the machine operators should want to prevent this at all times.
