Summer time brings many air quality challenges to the industrial sector. Heat and lack of adequate air exchange system, can worsen working conditions, negatively affecting employee health and production efficiency.
Heat and pollution: a dangerous combination for air quality
During the summer, the intense heat created inside industrial workplaces can amplify air quality problems. The absence of adequate air exchange system promotes the accumulation of harmful dust, gases, and vapors, compromising the air quality of working environments. This not only puts employees' health at risk, but can also reduce their productivity and concentration.
Static accumulation filters are commonly used to draw in emulsion and re-emit air into the environment. However, in the heat of summer, these filters can become a breeding ground for bacteria growth. This problem is particularly relevant in industries where emulsions and lubricants are used, such as in the mechanical and metalworking industries.
Bacteria in these work environments can proliferate in moist and hot filters, subsequently being released back into the air. This creates a potentially hazardous environment for workers' health and worsens the healthiness of the air.
Industrial sector and air quality in summer: increased hours of exposure to pollutants.
During the summer, we tend to spend more hours indoors and often polluted environments. This increases the risk of developing allergies and respiratory diseases. Prolonged exposure to pollutants such as fine dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic gases can have deleterious effects on workers' health, causing irritation, fatigue and respiratory problems.
But that's not all: production processes and machinery can generate additional heat, making the industrial sector environment even hotter and more oppressive. This heat stress can reduce the ability to concentrate and increase the risk of workplace accidents. In addition, intense heat can exacerbate the effect of pollutants in the air, amplifying their negative effects on health.
Unpleasant odors more intense in industrial sector environments
Unpleasant odors tend to become more intense due to heat. Industrial processes that produce odorous emissions can make the work environment very unpleasant, reducing employees' comfort and negatively affecting their morale. Persistent odors can also indicate the presence of harmful substances in the air, which need special attention to ensure a safe environment.
