Protecting Commercial & Industrial Facilities from Wildfire Smoke
How AccuraFil's Industrial-Grade Air Filtration Systems Safeguard Personnel Health, Product Quality, and Equipment During Wildfire Season
The Industrial Impact of Wildfire Smoke
As Canadian wildfires send massive plumes of smoke across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, commercial and industrial facilities face unprecedented challenges. Wildfire smoke contains dangerous fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and toxic gases that can:
Endanger Personnel
Respiratory issues, reduced productivity, and increased sick leave among workers exposed to contaminated indoor air
Contaminate Products
Smoke particles and odors can infiltrate manufacturing processes, compromising product quality and customer satisfaction
Damage Equipment
Fine particles can clog sensitive machinery, HVAC systems, and electronic equipment, leading to costly repairs
Disrupt Operations
Poor indoor air quality can force facility shutdowns, supply chain delays, and significant financial losses
Understanding Air Quality Risks
Air Quality Index (AQI) Levels
Monitor AQI levels to determine when enhanced filtration is critical for your facility
PM2.5 Particle Penetration
PM2.5 particles are 30 times smaller than human hair and can penetrate deep into lung tissue and enter the bloodstream

Implementation Guidelines for Facilities
Monitor AQI Continuously
Install air quality monitors and establish protocols for different AQI levels. When AQI exceeds 100, activate enhanced filtration protocols.
Upgrade HVAC Filters
Replace standard filters with AccuraFil MERV 13+ rated filters. Increase air circulation rates during smoke events.
Seal Building Envelope
Minimize outdoor air infiltration by sealing gaps around doors, windows, and loading docks. Use positive pressure systems where possible.
Protect Personnel
Provide N95 respirators for outdoor work, limit outdoor activities, and create clean air refuges within the facility.
🚨 Emergency Response Protocol
When AQI reaches hazardous levels (300+), implement emergency protocols:
• Activate maximum HVAC filtration
• Suspend non-essential outdoor operations
• Monitor personnel for respiratory symptoms
• Consider temporary facility closure if air quality cannot be maintained
Emergency: 911
• Suspend non-essential outdoor operations
• Monitor personnel for respiratory symptoms
• Consider temporary facility closure if air quality cannot be maintained
