Warehouses & distribution centres

Take stock of your air filtration needs inside your warehouses and distribution centres. Keep the logistics flow running smoothly and the clean air flowing freely to protect packages and the people who handle them.

Balance the economic and environmental impacts of warehousing and distribution with IAQ control solutions from Camfil. You’ll help protect workers’ health and safety, and valuable items, from damage. And you’ll see the results – fast.

The impact of pollution inside warehouses and distribution centres

Warehouses store more than just goods. Dust, dirt and harmful particles are more the rule than the exception for logistics management companies. Warehouses near densely populated areas produce pollution and need frequent deliveries from large trucks and boats, which emit more pollution. In fact, research shows that particulates emitted from diesel trucks are one of the most probable contributors to lung cancer.

Besides truck traffic, sources of dust include goods handling, sorting machines, street dust, and outdoor air pollution and pollen. Bacteria, dust, viruses and harmful particles in the air can cause itchy eyes, headaches, blocked noses and can give rise to asthma and irritation of the respiratory tract.

People and products are affected by indoor air quality

Poor IAQ control can also affect the goods stored inside warehouses. With stock moved on a daily basis, stored components and other items soon gather dust. This can pose the risk of damage when the components undergo further processing and even reduce your production yield rate.
