Is there a relationship between lung cancer and poor air quality in the workplace?

Every 20 minutes, someone in Spain dies of lung cancer, and a significant percentage of these deaths are caused by the quality of the ambient air to which workers are exposed in their workplaces.

Furthermore, in many cases, the risk is not only for those working in the production area or warehouses, but also for the rest of the company’s staff. Welding fumes or toxic dust, among other pollutants, can enter offices, cafeterias, and other spaces and be truly harmful to those exposed to them.

More than 28,000 new cases are reported each year in our country, and this terrible number is expected to increase significantly in the coming decades… And we do nothing!

Silica, asbestos, chromium, and nickel accompany us in our workplaces in many industrial activities.

Is there a solution? Yes. Capture the pollutant at the point where it is produced, preventing it from reaching our lungs. Let’s not let it spread around us!

Furthermore, the most dangerous type is the one made up of very small particles. These particles, which we cannot see, and which, when inhaled, become deposited—and permanently—in our pulmonary system, causing irreversible damage.

Illnesses caused by air pollution are not an issue to be treated lightly. Ensure safe workspaces with ventilation and filtration equipment suitable for any type of industry. You will be able to reduce polluting emissions to the permitted limits.
