Breathing is second nature, something we do without much thought. But have you taken the time to think about the things that you’re breathing in? Whether you realize it or not, indoor air can often contain a plethora of pollutants, allergens, and excess moisture, and dust particles. For individuals with bronchial conditions or allergies, this can be especially troubling.
Luckily, we have means of combating indoor air pollution, in just about every indoor space possible. Check out 4 different ways exhaust fans are used to filter air and regulate its quality:
Hospitals
In hospitals, air quality matters a great deal. With people’s lives and health at stake, it’s important to ensure that indoor pollutants and allergies are kept at bay. This keeps patients’ health at an optimal level and promotes further healing where necessary. To keep air quality up to snuff, hospitals utilize powerful laminar exhaust fans that circulate air up to 300 times per hour.
Factories and Warehouses
In industrial settings, machinery can get hot. In order to keep products cool and dry and to keep production standards satisfactory, warehouses utilize commercial exhaust fans, helping to de-fumigate and cool down the workspace. In warehouses that produce food items, these fans can be especially important.
Kitchens
From commercial kitchens to home kitchens, exhaust fans are important to clear the air of smoke, odors, and grease using the fan’s air blower. Because commercial, restaurant kitchens have such a high volume of customers each day, their commercial exhaust fans have to be cleaned once every three months.
Bathrooms
Bathroom exhaust fans are among the most common out there. They are used to rid the bathroom of odors and excess moisture that can build up and cause mold spores. However, when a bathroom ceiling is more than eight feet high, more than one exhaust fan vent is typically needed.
