THE SMALLER A PARTICLE IS, THE DEEPER INTO THE PULMONARY SYSTEM IT PENETRATES.

Particles smaller than 5 thousandths of a millimetre, known as respirable dust, are invisible to the naked eye and penetrate into the deepest parts of the pulmonary system where the air moves very slowly. This makes it difficult to exhale the smallest particles. The foreign dust particles that get lodged in the lung are wrapped in nodes of connective tissue, which is the lungs' way of protecting themselves.

In time this leads to pneumoconiosis or COPD, which stands for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Some types of particles, such as quartz and asbestos dust, cannot be broken down by the body and are sharp, which is why they go on causing damage even after they have become lodged in the lungs.

The best protection is achieved if the dust is removed at source and never allowed to reach the air. Dustcontrol has developed suction casings for most handheld and stationary machines, and often also produces tailor-made suction casings.

Dustcontrol helps to ensure a cleaner, and thus a safer and more efficient production environment by extracting dust and particles and transporting the material to wherever you want.
