Meeting OSHA's Silica-Dust Requirements With Job-Site HEPA Scrubbers
In the construction industry—especially on the East and West Coasts—controlling respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust remains a major compliance and safety challenge. OSHA’s silica standard for general contractors has been in effect since 2017, yet many firms still struggle to implement effective controls without delaying projects or blowing budgets. Portable HEPA scrubbers can support a complete silica-control program, but understanding their proper place in OSHA’s hierarchy of controls is essential.
6 Reasons to Use a Portable Air Purifier at Home
You clean your dishes. You clean your laundry. You clean your home. But what about your air? Can you truly say you have a clean house if the air you breathe is filled with dust and bacteria? Those same particles you remove from household surfaces every day are also floating in the air. Shouldn’t you clean your air too?
What is a HEPA filter? 2025 Updated
A HEPA filter is one of the most effective air purification technologies available today, renowned for its ability to trap particles that are invisible to the naked eye. Originally developed during the 1940s—when scientists working on the Manhattan Project needed to filter radioactive particles—the technology has evolved into a cornerstone of modern indoor air quality management.
Part 1: Smoke Eaters 101 Series 2025
In this series, we’ll explore how smoke eaters work, their role in protecting health, and the technologies behind them. From electrostatic precipitators to HEPA filters and hybrid systems, we’ll break it all down so you can make informed choices for cleaner, safer air. Let’s dive in!
PART 7: Maintenance, Best Practices, and Conclusion
You’ve learned the science behind smoke eaters, the health benefits, the technologies, and the compliance angle. Now in Part 7, let’s discuss how to maintain these systems over the long haul to maximize your investment.
PART 5: Hybrid Smoke Eaters – The Best of Both Worlds
Combining ESP, HEPA, and Carbon in One System - We’ve looked at the separate technologies—ESP for particles, HEPA for near-total particle filtration, and carbon for odor removal. Now, hybrid systems combine multiple stages into a single unit, delivering comprehensive air cleaning.
PART 4: Media-Based Smoke Eaters – HEPA and Carbon Filters
The Power of Physical Filtration: HEPA and Carbon Filters - In Parts 1–3, we covered smoke eaters’ importance, health implications, and an in-depth look at ESP. Now, let’s examine media smoke eater units (HEPA + carbon)—primarily HEPA filters for particles and activated carbon for odors.
PART 3: All About Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)
Harnessing Static Power: The Science of Electrostatic Precipitators - Welcome to Part 3 of our series. Now that we’ve covered the health impact of smoke let’s examine a key technology that fights it—Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP). ESPs are commonly used in commercial settings like bars, casinos, and industrial facilities. They’re particularly effective in capturing ultrafine particles often found in smoke. For a side‑by‑side comparison of ESP units and media‑based smoke eaters, see our media‑type vs. electronic smoke eaters guide.
PART 2: The Health Risks of Smoke Exposure (and How Smoke Eaters Help)
Understanding the Health Toll of Smoke—and How Smoke Eaters Mitigate It - Welcome to Part 2 of our “Clearing the Air” series. In Part 1, we introduced the concept of smoke eaters and their importance. The health consequences of smoke exposure—whether it’s secondhand tobacco smoke, industrial fumes or other pollutants—are serious; explore our commercial smoke eater systems to see how the right equipment solves these challenges.
Ozone Generators: Promising Preventative for Coronavirus
Coronavirus preventatives, cures, and disinfectants are around every corner, but which ones are based on fact? Researchers are scrambling to find ways to keep the virus at bay while alcohol and hand sanitizer fly off the shelves.
Recently, Fujita Health University found that .
Get Extra Protection From The Coronavirus With A UV Air Purifier
Global concern about the Coronavirus has been rising with an increasing number of cases getting diagnosed in the United States. Officially named COVID-19, the recent outbreak originated in China and has struck down thousands of people across the globe. The United States is no exception, experiencing a rapid increase in diagnoses and fallen victims across the nation.
The rapid extent of Coronavirus can be attributed in part to the fact that some of the people affected are asymptomatic. When others are exposed to these people, chances are, they do not realize it and neglect to take proper precautions as a result. This gives the disease a dangerous advantage.
Fortunately, there are practical steps you can take to protect yourself.
Protect Your Home from Wildfire Smoke
Recent years have seen some devastating wildfires around the U.S. and especially the western part of the country — that means a lot of people have been affected by fire smoke at home and at work. 2017 was one of the worst years for wildfires on record.
