Air exchange is required for the removal of contaminants from :

  • Explosive gases
  • Dust
  • Poisonous gases
  • Radioactive Emissions
  • Objectionable fumes

The best method for controlling these contaminants is to prevent their formation or dilute the contaminants so they are no longer dangerous.
