Wood, man's friend. But beware of residues

Carpentry Industry Air Filtration Coral

Humans have been working with wood since the dawn of time and still employ it for countless uses. Not only cutting, but also sanding and shaping wood create large amounts of dust, chips and residues of different sizes. Wood dust is a safety concern for workers and the environment. When particles become airborne, they can cause allergic respiratory symptoms, mucous membrane problems and cancer for those who inhale them regularly. In addition, wood dust is easily flammable and, in the absence of effective filtration, can cause fires. Another cause for concern is the presence of wood particles on equipment and floors, which reduce traction and can cause slip-and-fall type injuries.
