Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Air Cleaner: |
A mechanically engineered device and filters that remove particles, fumes, vapours, pollens and other bioaerosols from the air and in ventilation systems. Education Note: Air cleaners in a building, especially commercial and high-rise buildings, have air clean filters installed on the suply side and sometimes on the return side, before pollutants enter a building conditioned air space. |
| Air Stripping: |
Mechanical and engineering methods used to remove harmful contaminates, gases and toxins from indoor air. Mitigation Note: Air stripping may include fresh air forced negative air exhausting, 100% air exhaust with 100% new air makeup, HEPA extraction and/or carbon filtration of pollutants that may pose health issues to humans if the ambients remain for prolonged periods or contaminates exceed acceptable and permissable exposure levels. See Administrative Controls, Air Cleaner, Air Scrubber, Carbon Filtration |
| EAC (Electronic Air Cleaner): |
Also called an Electronic Precipitator. EACs use a high voltage between two conductors to remove airborne particles (pollens, fungi, dust, dander, skin cells, etc.) from the air flowing through it. |
