The cost of wood dust exposure is measured in health – not just downtime.

Respiratory damage doesn’t start with a cough. Even low-level, long-term exposure to wood dust can cause serious, often irreversible health problems.

Wood dust exposure isn’t just uncomfortable – it’s dangerous.
And everyone working in your company may be inhaling sawdust without knowing it.

Did you know?

1 in 10 workers exposed to wood dust develop asthma or chronic bronchitis

Hardwood dust is officially linked to nasal cancer

Many woodworkers experience permanent lung function loss over time

Inhaling sawdust affects more than just your operators.

Most workplaces rely on LEV systems and PPE — and that’s a good start. But here’s the problem:

  • Invisible, fine wood dust escapes LEV and drifts,
  • it stays airborne for hours,
  • and it spreads into places where no one wears protection or only poorly.

Walkways. Offices. Break rooms. Showrooms.

This is pedestrianism. It's the invisible risk to people away from the tools: designers, admin teams, visitors, and customers.

We measured the air in UK wood workshops. You’ll want to see the results!

LEV helps – but it can’t stop wood dust exposure alone.

LEV systems capture dust at the source – but not what drifts, lingers, and spreads. That’s where most setups fall short.

To truly minimise wood dust exposure, LEV needs a partner: an industrial air cleaner. Together, they form a complete clean air solution – protecting your entire space, not just the workbench.

With Zehnder’s clean air as a service, you get:

✔  No capital investment
✔  No installation disruption
✔  No maintenance worries

Clean air, fully managed – and always one step ahead.
