They are capable of capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns, such as viruses and bacteria. <\/p>\n\n<p>However, wood particles are not the only pollutants. In fact, the air in your workshop can <strong>circulate more volatile contaminants such as VOCs<\/strong>, glue vapours and chemical products. These pollutants represent health risks for your operators, since the smaller the particle, the more dangerous it is for the body.    <\/p>\n\n<p>An activated carbon filter is also recommended to filter out odors, gaseous pollutants and VOCs.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>To best meet the needs of workshops, OberA offers <strong>several ranges of industrial air purifiers<\/strong> with configurable filtration systems<a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/our-tips\/solutions-pour-traiter-solvants-adsorption-charbon-actif\/\">(carbon filter<\/a>, particulate filter).

The<strong> purifiers in the range are equipped with several filtration stages <\/strong>that can be configured according to the pollutants to be treated (G4 + H13 filter and activated carbon for treatment of gases, odors and solvents, for example).
