THE BANE OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY AT RESTAURANT

We all go to restaurants to have a good time with our loved ones, but we end up harming ourselves due to the pollutants released by grills, barbeque and char broilers. These pollutants can be dangerous because they can cause several breathing and lung problems.

Throat irritation;

Chest congestion

Headache

Asthma

Lethargy

Sneezing and wheezing

Respiratory diseases

SOURCES OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION IN RESTAURANTS

Grills and Char Boilers Emit Poisonous CO

Most restaurants serving barbeque use grill machines and char boilers. These mediums emit carbon monoxide in huge doses, exposing the cooks and the diners alike. This can be lethal because exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to brain damage -- and even death in the long run.

Smoke: A Dangerous Bullet for the Asthmatics

A restaurant’s cooking chamber produces much more smoke than ventilators can handle. That’s dangerous for the staff (and also customers) because smoke consists of various pollutants that may cause respiratory problems or aggravate symptoms of asthma. Inhaling smoke is akin to second-hand cigarette smoke.

Grease: Very harmful pollutant that also brings the risk of a fire hazard

Restaurants that use fryers, cook fatty meat and use a lot of oil in their dishes produce high amounts of grease. The grease settles in the restaurant itself. Upon large accumulation, the restaurant can become a major fire hazard.

HOW TO TACKLE INDOOR POLLUTION IN RESTAURANTS

SMOKE BUSTER^® is known to effectively eliminate indoor pollutants, bad odour, smoke, and grease.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A MACHINE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR RESTAURANTS

Normal air purifiers can not withstand the demand of restaurants, hookah bars, etc. but SMOKE BUSTER^® is equipped with a combination of 8 filters which makes it a perfect air quality management machine for restaurants.

Activated Carbon Filter

This filter works on the principle of adsorption, where gaseous pollutants react chemically with the activated carbon and sticks to the filter. As a result, this filter effectively blocks harmful chemicals and gases released by kitchen equipment.

HEPA Filter

A HEPA filter is always used in combination with an activated carbon filter to achieve highly efficient air filtration. The HEPA filter alone is the most efficient filter for people suffering from allergies and asthma. It removes 99.97% of airborne irritants which are as small as 0.3 microns.

Ultraviolet

The ultraviolet filters are a game-changer. This new technology uses ultraviolet light to incinerate bacteria passing through it. This is beneficial for people suffering from asthma, lung diseases and allergies.

Photo Catalyst Filter

These filters contain titanium dioxide. They purify the air with the help of UV light. When the UV light shines upon the titanium dioxide electrons, the electrons start interacting with water molecules and form hydroxyl radicals. The hydroxyl radicals then attack the larger organic pollutant molecules and turn them into harmless substances like water.

Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)

The ESP filter helps in removing fine particles like dust and smoke. It works by forcing the dirty gas pass through two electrodes where the first electrode is charged to a negative voltage and the second electrode is charged to a positive voltage. As the dust particles move through the first electrode, they pick up a negative charge and then they move towards the positive charged electrode. Since opposite charges attract each other, the dust and soot particles stick to the positive electrode.
