Air pollution control in industry – protection against particulate matter and pollutants<\/h1>\n \n

The Swiss Ordinance on Air Pollution Control (LRV) is decisive for occupational safety and the prevention of occupational illnesses. It is based on the Environmental Protection Act. The LRV protects people and the environment from harmful air pollutants and particulate matter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Ordinance on Air Pollution Control (LRV) <\/h2>\n\n

The Ordinance on Air Pollution Control (LRV) stipulates that emissions such as particulate matter (particle sizes PM10\/PM2.5) produced in industrial processes must be fully recorded directly at source, i.e. at the point of origin. It calls for a precautionary limitation of emissions. The use of extraction and filter systems ensures compliance with the specified limit values, known as MAK values. <\/p>\n

FINE DUST IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH<\/h2>\n

Emissions such as dust, fibrous materials, e.g. asbestos or artificial mineral fibers, gas or smoke can lead to occupational diseases, some of which result in incurable damage and high costs:<\/p>\n
