To reduce the inherent health risks associated with the podiatry and footcare industry, employing source capture and containment systems can be highly effective. Air purifiers help clean and bring in fresh healthy air, reducing viral transmission and chemical exposure.
Podiatrists and foot care specialists come in contact with a number of chemicals and toxins on a daily basis that pose inhalation hazards and put them and their clients at risk for a number of infectious and chronic diseases. Their profession, in fact, is one of the most notoriously affected by poor indoor air quality (IAQ). To protect staff and clients from adverse health risks, addressing IAQ in podiatry offices is a must.
Jobs in podiatry or footcare industry comes with several risk factors that can adversely affect the health and wellbeing of specialists and their clients. While radiation is a concern, the most common health problems plaguing podiatrists are due to exposure to indoor air pollution.
Podiatrists and other footcare specialists generate microbial dust when reducing calluses and corns and drilling and filing toenails. The fine dusts produced with these practices pose inhalation hazards while the larger particulates can cause eye injuries.
Considering asthma is four times more pervasive within the industry compared to the national average and complaints of rhinitis and conjunctivitis are common, there is strong evidence indicating a likely occupational risk.
Nail dust created by drilling is estimated to be 0.8 to1.6 µm in size- small enough to be deposited deep into the lungs and stay there, not to be exhaled again. These smaller particles create an aerosol that can remain airborne for 30 minutes and negatively impact immunocompromised clients.
Within these microbial dusts are dangerous microorganisms including bacteria, Staphylococci, fungi, and yeasts and molds. Common respiratory health issues associated with these dusts include:
Headaches
Loss of Sense of Smell
Respiratory Allergies
Sinusitis
Podiatrists evaluate and treat a wide variety of clients, some of whom may carry viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C. When professionals use sharp scalpels for the debridement of calluses and ulcers, these viruses can become aerosolized, putting themselves at risk for infection.
Without proper air filtration, bacteria and viruses can spread and linger indoors, sometimes for hours at a time. The onset of the Covid pandemic has highlighted the need for better air filtration and ventilation. To protect staff and clients from both blood-borne and infectious disease, an effective air purifier with proper filtration is essential.
Podiatrists use a variety of chemicals to reduce calluses and corns, decontaminate instruments, disinfect the skin and treat fungal and other infections that pollute indoor air. Inhaling fumes from cork, rubber, glues and solvents used in the manufacture of orthopedic insoles also poses a health risk.
Indoor spaces with high CO2 have been shown to cause a number of adverse effects including drowsiness, fatigue, headaches, dizziness and respiratory problems.
We have air purification solutions to address this high carbon dioxide levels.
Treatment rooms are often plagued by persistent odors. These odors can permeate throughout the office and into waiting and consultation rooms, molesting clients. Source capture and containment systems are an effective way to reduce and eliminate unwanted odors in podiatry offices.
Employing source capture and containment systems can be highly effective. Air purifiers for recirculating air can help clean and bring in fresh healthy air, reducing viral transmission and chemical exposure.

Recirculation air filtration unit: Continuously recirculates the indoor ambient room air through a multi-stage air filtration system, removing airborne contaminants every time the air passes through the unit. The higher the number of air changes per hour (ACH), the cleaner the air will be.
