Industrial Air Filtration for Bakeries |
|
|
While flour and yeast are the foundations of the baking industry, these ingredients also congregate in air contributing to occupational asthma, the growth of mold in air conditioning, pipes and drains, as well as the breakdown of equipment. The air cleaner recommended in this section is designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns, and also features a special pre-filter to remove larger flour particles so they don't clog the main HEPA filter. Customized solutions are also available. Contact AllerAir or an authorized AllerAir dealer for more information. |

Asthma has been reported in bakers since Roman times. In the UK a baker is considered to be in a "high risk" occupation. This is not surprising when you consider that some studies have shown the concentration of airborne flour dust is more than 200 times the occupational exposure limit.
Many employers have a hard time imagining that something as simple as flour could prove dangerous to an employee's health. Yet flour dust is actually quite complex. It can be made up of a number of cereals, but also additives like raising agents, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, coloring, flavoring, gums and gelling agents.
Flour is considered a "sensitizer", which means that workers who are continually exposed to flour dust are at a higher risk for respiratory ailments like asthma and allergic rhinitis. It may also cause other breathing difficulties like bronchitis as well as eye, nose and throat irritation.
Alpha-amylase, an enzyme that occurs naturally in wheat flour and one which is sometimes used as an additive, has also been implicated in baker's asthma.
