The chemical and pharmaceutical industry produces a range of air pollutants that are significantly hazardous to the environment and workers.
Particularly, suspended dust generated during activities such as active ingredient production, material dosing, atomization, weighing, mixing, and packaging tends to disperse into the environment. The dust may contain dangerous chemicals, including excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
Even Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can have harmful effects on human health, especially when generated by chemicals. Olfactory pollution, often accompanying VOC issues, should not be underestimated. The presence of combustible dust or volatile liquids also requires careful safety protocols to avoid potentially explosive situations. Many of these substances can easily enter the human body, causing long-term health problems and carcinogenic effects.
In summary, the pharmaceutical and chemical sector presents significant challenges in terms of pollution and risks to human and environmental health. Understanding and managing these pollutants are crucial for ensuring a safer environment and greater sustainability.
