Dental laboratories can benefit from having an effective air pollution control systems in place. From fine and ultra-fine dust particles created by grinding, polishing and sandblasting, to chemicals released during polymerisation, there is a wide range of pollutants that are dangerous to owners, employees and customers alike.
Without adequate filtration systems, those working or visiting dental laboratories will be routinely exposed to several or more of the following contaminants. Exposure to these contaminants can lead to respiratory conditions such as occupational asthma, or aggravate existing respiratory conditions. These contaminants can also result in cancer, pneumoconiosis and silicosis. It is therefore vital that these contaminants are captured before being inhaled.

IQAir's GC Series is designed to capture chemical contamination, yet also includes a HEPA H11 Class filter.
