According to research some 136 types of fungi are harmful to people and archives. Of these, 18 are thought to cause a range of irritations and diseases including disorders of the respiratory tract, the mucous membrane, even tuberculosis, and can possibly cause disorders of the liver, mycoses and abscesses. The Document Work Station gives protection from mildew-spores, fungi and irritant or toxic sub micron particulates. Made from cold rolled sturdy steel structure epoxy powder coated for corrosion resistance in RAL: 9016 white with a 304 stainless steel work surface. 80mm diameter nylon castors with brakes and an impact resistant handle included.
 
• Fitted with a particulate pre-filter 92% efficient @ 5 micron and a HEPA filter 99.999% efficient @ 0.3 micron for full protection.
• The machine has proved invaluable when cleaning books that have been subject to poor storage, which frequently contain mildew spores that should be disposed of safely to reduce spreading. Safe removal prevents adverse affects to the health of the conservator, who has the task of cleaning items before being placed into archival storage.
• Air is extracted from around the work surface. These air paths provide a containment airflow that will entrain any particles present during conservation procedures.
• The machine is completely mobile and can be wheeled to the required location to perform cleaning. Comes complete with operating and maintenance instructions.
• Shipped with HEPA and Pre Filters fitted
