Where is it most necessary to reduce contaminant risks?

We are concerned about air pollution in general, but there are a number of groups that should be especially protected because they present greater risks from inhaling toxic gases:

1. Professional drivers are more exposed to toxic gases and particles in the air due to vehicle emissions
2. Loading and unloading workers in the industry, or who carry out their work in places where combustion vehicles are present.
3. Professionals from mechanical workshops or automobile repair.
4. Workers in the petrochemical and fuel transportation industries: These workers are exposed to toxic gases and dangerous chemical compounds through inhalation and through the skin.
5. Construction Workers: These workers are exposed to toxic gases and airborne particles from industrial activity and exposure to construction materials and fossil fuels.
6. Populations near petrochemical companies, industrial zones and power plants are much more exposed to toxic gases and particles in the air than the general population.
7. 7. Agricultural workers: These workers are exposed to toxic gases and chemicals used in agriculture, such as pesticides and fertilizers.

Vehicles with internal combustion engines emit a variety of gases through their exhausts, including:

1. Carbon Monoxide (CO): A colorless, toxic gas that can be fatal in high concentrations.
2. Carbon dioxide (CO2): A greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
3. Nitrogen oxides (NOx): An air pollutant that can harm human health and the environment.
4. Particles: Small solid or liquid particles that can be harmful to human health and the environment.
5. Unburned hydrocarbons: Organic compounds that can be toxic and harmful to human health and the environment.

Breathing them in high or constant concentrations as a result of professional activity is harmful due to toxic and carcinogenic compounds that damage the lungs and other internal organs Carbon monoxide in the fumes can also be dangerous as it can reduce the body’s ability to carry oxygen. Furthermore, prolonged inhalation of hydrocarbon fumes also causes irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue and other symptoms of poisoning.

Therefore, among other measures, it is important to reduce vehicle emissions by reducing emissions by using more efficient and less polluting vehicles. Or ventilating when conditions allow.

In most cases little else can be done, apart from these measures or using uncomfortable masks. That is why PUROH is especially useful in these environments since it eliminates these contaminants and converts them into inert elements such as water vapour. Especially in closed environments, it contributes to increasing the Open Air factor without having to ventilate, making it doubly efficient since its very low consumption greatly compensates for air conditioning needs.

Many populations have become accustomed to bad odors from petrochemicals, industries with emissions, etc. but the toxins do not stop accumulating in the body and end up causing damage.

If you feel identified with any of these scenarios, do not hesitate to investigate what PUROH can do for your health
