Waste Anesthetic Gases and Pungent Odour Reduces the Efficiency of Research Labs
Inhaling harmful gases and odours in animal research labs is a rising concern today, making effective odour control in animal research labs increasingly important for the safety of researchers and other employees. The various sources of these gases and foul odours constitute:
- Waste Anaesthetic Gases (WAGs) released during anaesthesia/euthanasia before/after testing
- Gases released by animal excreta
- Gases released due to the decay of leftover food by animals
Pungent Odour Affects the Health of Researchers and Other Employees
Prolonged inhaling of even a small amount of these gases leads to many chronic results:
- Acute effects: Drowsiness, irritability, depression, headaches, dizziness, and nausea
- Chronic effects: Liver and kidney disease, adverse reproductive effects and cancer
If harmful gases and pungent odours are overlooked, these acute and chronic effects lead to a decrease in efficiency and an increase in absenteeism hence affecting the quality and speed of work.
Remove Foul Odour With the Bry-Air Odour Control Unit
Bry-Air Odour Control Unit is ideal for researchers and employees’ health when working in animal research labs. It removes harmful and poisonous gases through the process of adsorption and chemisorption. Contaminated air passes through pre-filters which retain dust and particles. Thereafter, the chemical media stages (a combination of activated carbon and activated alumina impregnated with proprietary chemicals), chemically destroy the remaining gaseous contaminants. Bry-Air Odour Control Unit is designed to maintain the highest level of odour-free atmosphere in animal research labs.
Bry-Air: A Step Ahead, Always
Bry-Air Odour Control Unit is ideal for removing toxic gases and eliminating odours from the air, making it perfect for odour control in animal research labs. It purifies the air inside the animal research labs through the process of adsorption and chemisorption, in which air is filtered and cleaned out when gaseous contaminants are neutralised while passing through a chemical filter. The cleaning of contaminated air occurs at the molecular level when a pollutant gas molecule reacts with chemicals present in the filter.
Bry-Air Gas Phase Filtration Systems are designed to reduce the contaminant gas concentration up to acceptable levels.
Bry-Air offers various types of air purification systems depending upon the method of purification and known parameters related to airflow, types and concentrations of impurities present in the air, space availability and desired media life.
