Formaldehyde Fume Removal

Formaldehyde is a known carcinogenic substance which is harmful in small concentrations. The OSHA limit for constant exposure over an 8 hour day for an adult is 0.75 PPM (parts per million) . This is significant because the odor threshold or the concentration at which most individuals can smell formaldehyde is 0.8 PPM  This means that, in most cases, if you can smell formaldehyde then you have exceeded the federal action level and may possibly exceed the exposure limit if you have prolonged exposure to the odor.

Using the optional carbon filter module or carbon pads our equipment will effectively remove formaldehyde vapors, along with many other gaseous irritants. When used in conjunction with the HEPA filter our equipment will also remove particulates down to the size of .3 microns.
