Assessment of the purity of air intended for human respiration is a critical process. This evaluation determines the presence and concentration of contaminants that could pose a health risk when inhaled. Examples include monitoring compressed air used in self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or evaluating air quality in industrial settings where workers rely on supplied air systems.
Maintaining safe respiratory conditions is paramount to worker safety and regulatory compliance. Historically, inadequate air purity has led to significant health issues, emphasizing the necessity of routine monitoring and adherence to established standards. Such practices minimize the potential for respiratory illnesses, poisoning, and long-term health complications, contributing to a healthier and more productive workforce.
