Read What the Experts Have to Say About Firestation Ventilation and Exhaust Extraction


An Increased Cancer Risk for Firefighters has been linked to the cancer causing agents contained in Diesel Exhaust
.
"Lung cancer is the major cancer thought to be linked to diesel exhaust. Several studies of workers exposed to diesel exhaust have shown small but significant increases in risk of lung cancer."

“The International Mechanical Code, which serves as a guide for state building codes, requires that all toxic emissions from diesel exhaust be eliminated for the protection of those who occupy the premises.

“Researchers have found that more than two-thirds of firefighters (68%) develop cancer. This excess cancer mortality and incidence was comprised mainly of digestive and respiratory cancers.”

Environmental Products That Improve Fire Station Ventilation

The products displayed below can improve air quality by filtering or removing contaminants. SafeAir Corporation has been supplying products to firefighters and EMS for nearly 30 years. Our experts can assist you in a new air quality system or upgrade and retrofit an existing system. We install and service our SafeAir products as well as those from other manufacturers.

Air Filtration Products

Garage, Office and Living Space Filtration

An air filtration system can be installed above the fire apparatus. The system can use sensors that read vehicle movement or may use a carbon monoxide detector that activates the system. These systems can capture airborne particulates, contamination, and gaseous pollutants. They can be economical since they involve the least amount of work necessary to install. Only an electrical power source and ceiling mounting space are needed for an installation.

Exhaust Extraction Products

Removes Dangerous Carcinogens

An additional, effective type of engineering control is local tailpipe exhaust ventilation. This works by attaching a hose to the tailpipe and connecting it to a fan, which discharges the exhaust outside the station. Hoses can be purchased with an option to automatically disconnect the hose from the vehicle exhaust pipe as the vehicle pulls out of the garage. Various hose diameters are available for different sizes of exhaust pipes. Rail systems can be used to keep hoses safely out of the way.

Intelligent Air Controls

Controls for New or Existing Installations

Intelligent Air Controls can tell you when maintenance is needed for your air filtration equipment. For example, these types of controls can predict exactly how much life is left in your filters and when maintenance tasks should be performed. It's time to eliminate your standard preventative maintenance routines and schedules. You will also cut maintenance costs by focusing only on what is actually needed. That means economy and savings for your fire station air systems.

Air System Filters

Regular Maintenance of Air Filters is Essential

Air filters remove a broad range of airborne contaminants, including fine dust, smoke, soot, pollen and radioactive particles. HEPA air filters are used in final filter applications. They can also be used as pre-filters in cleanroom environments and other critical applications. Filters must be monitored and replaced regularly for ensuring air quality in industrial and fire station applications. Filter preventive maintenance can be simplified and more easily regulated by installing intelligent air controls.
