Air Contaminants – Dentistry
- Dentists, patients, and staff are all at high risk to airborne contamination such as viruses, bacteria, mercury and other general particle and gaseous pollution.
- Dentistry is classified at being a high risk for transmission of COVID-19. The reasons being that the main routes of infection all are highly relevant to everyday procedures in dental practice.
- The use of high-speed handpieces and ultrasonic equipment creates more airborne contamination via aerosol. Aerosol consists of water, saliva, blood, debris and microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa, along with their metabolites, such as lipopolysaccharides, endotoxins and other toxins.
- Large droplets, greater than 50 microns, will drop until they contact a surface. In the typical dental surgery, this could be the chair, worktop, storage unit, sink, floor, patient and dentist.
- Droplets less than 50 microns can remain within the air space until evaporation, leaving residual nuclei.
- COVID-19 virus is viable in suspended aerosols for up to three hours.
- Dental practices may struggle with ventilation management, especially if they are situated within confined spaces.
- Purer Clean Air® recommends the use of mobile standalone air filtration units in each surgery. Good air filtration can impact on the spread of airborne transmission and prevent exposure to bacteria or viruses. Purer Clean Air® purifiers are lightweight and/or on castors so can be moved quickly and easily to the required location.
- Purer Clean Air® products use medical grade filtration systems with patented DNO technology which offers peace of mind and security for all our users.
- Small particles (known as PM2.5 or fine particulate matter) such as bacteria and viruses like COVID-19 pose the greatest problems because they bypass the body’s natural defences and can get deep into your lungs and potentially your bloodstream.
- Aggravated asthma.
- Development of chronic respiratory disease in children.
- Development of chronic bronchitis or chronic obstructive lung disease.
- Premature death in people with heart or lung disease, including death from lung cancer.
- Sulphur and Nitrogen dioxide can cause respiratory problems such as bronchitis. It may cause coughing, wheezing, phlegm and asthma attacks.
- Dryness and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin.
- Headache.
- Fatigue.
- Shortness of breath.
- Hypersensitivity and allergies.
- Sinus congestion.
- Coughing and sneezing.
- Dizziness.
- Nausea.
All our Air Purifiers use our patented DNO filters and catalysts to truly supply ‘Purer Clean Air®’ by capturing, killing and converting the contaminants into harmless invisible by product elements – carbon dioxide, water and oxygen!!
Purer Clean Air® Medical Grade DNO Filters protect by capturing, killing and converting:
- Viruses such as COVID-19 and SARS.
- Microbial contaminants, fungi, moulds and bacteria.
- Small particles (known as PM2.5 or fine particulate matter) to levels as small as 0.003 microns.
- Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide – (SOX) and (NOX).
- Indoor and Outside air pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide (CO).
- Dust, fibreglass, asbestos, gases, including formaldehyde from building materials.
- Toxic vapours, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – from cleansers, solvents, pesticides, disinfectants, and glues.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2), tobacco smoke, alcohol, perfume and body odours.
- Gases, vapours, odours, off-gas emissions from furniture, carpets, and paints.
- Dust mites from carpets, fabric, foam chair cushions.
- Ozone from photocopiers, printers, electric motors, electrostatic air cleaners.
