Healthy Work Environment
Healthy Work Environment
There is nothing more important than being able to work in a healthy environment. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution has been linked to a range of negative health effects, such as cardiovascular and lung diseases. Indoor exposure to air pollutants is a serious long-term health risk. Therefore, it is essential to address air pollution in a professional manner to create a healthy work environment.
A healthy work environment requires eliminating:
- Fine particulate matter (PM10 range)
- Ultra-fine particulate matter (<PM0.1 range)
- Fumes, odors, and aerosols
If you ask individual employees at JOA, you will find that it is our common passion to apply air innovations for a better quality of life and work. Hence, our teams look forward to supporting you in building or upgrading your factory or product lines.

How do we guarantee the best solution to create a healthy work environment?
JOA has installed 450 systems around the globe, and we have learned how to perfect our extraction systems. As a result, our models predict the best possible solution for your situation. Consequently, we ensure results that work from the get-go at economically attractive rates. Every project starts with on-site data collection and analysis. Data is derived by personal sampling and combined with an emission measurement program.
An economical solution that works from the get-go
We predict the effectiveness of our extraction systems by history-matching the collected data in the GCM model. If necessary, HVAC dilution jets provide a way of handling critical personal exposure in addition to eliminating the source. This way, we can generate an optimal technical solution for the most economical scenario. Analyzing the type of dust or fumes produced determines the maximum applicable exposure norm. In other words, we look at the behaviour of particulate matter to engineer the system and select the best filter technology including, if required, acoustic agglomeration for eliminating UFPs.
Acoustic agglomeration is the first module in the market to agglomerate ultra-fine dust and filter it with standard filter units.Tony Roepman, Chief engineer JOA
Integrated solution that protect the workers, with an eye to economics
A well-designed system or system upgrade guarantees protection of workers' personal health. Critical emission points need to be addressed by effective (98+%) source elimination in combination with HVAC dilution, applying induction cool jets. The extracted and/or recirculated air must be filtered adequately.

Prevent combustible dusts
GCM/V0crit-modeling is necessary to prevent built-up of combustible dust in dust collection systems. This mitigates the risk of fires and explosions. The presence of Ultra Fine Particulates (UFP’s) can best be treated by adding an Acoustic Agglomeration module to the existing filter. The ultrasonic field that induces particulate collision and agglomeration allows standard dust filters to handle UFP's effectively.

Effective fume collection
Fume treatment can effectively be executed by a combination of an automated JHF Coalescer-belt filter and Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO). A nano-technology based pioneer technology, eliminating low concentration vapors, without generating any hazardous by-products. The standardized series of JOA automated fume and dust filters guarantee compliance with emission limits and local legislation in an economic manner.
