The maritime environment presents unique air quality challenges: humidity, confined spaces, and exposure to pollutants. Our Cold Plasma Air Purifier offers an innovative, high-performance solution that ensures clean, fresh, and safe air on board any vessel.
Yachts, especially those powered by combustion engines, can produce and expose passengers to several gases that are considered dangerous. Here’s a breakdown of potentially hazardous gases on a yacht:
1. Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Source: Exhaust from engines, generators, or heating systems.
• Danger: Odorless, colorless gas that can lead to poisoning, causing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and in severe cases, death.
• Risk: Poor ventilation increases the danger, especially in enclosed cabins.
2. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
• Source: Combustion of fuels, human respiration, and excessive buildup in poorly ventilated areas.
• Danger: At high concentrations, it can cause dizziness, confusion, and even suffocation.
• Risk: Typically a concern in confined spaces with inadequate ventilation.
3. Nitrogen Oxides (NOₓ)
• Source: Emissions from diesel or gasoline engines.
• Danger: Can cause respiratory issues, irritate the eyes, and contribute to smog formation.
• Risk: Continuous exposure in poorly ventilated areas.
4. Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)
• Source: Emissions from engines using sulfur-rich fuel (common in older yachts or unregulated fuels).
• Danger: Irritates the respiratory system and can exacerbate asthma or other lung conditions.
• Risk: Higher in areas where low-quality fuel is used.
5. Methane (CH₄)
• Source: Leakage from fuel storage or waste systems (e.g., holding tanks for sewage).
• Danger: Flammable and can cause explosions; high concentrations displace oxygen.
• Risk: Explosive risk if ignited in a confined space.
6. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
• Source: Fuel evaporation, cleaning products, or paints.
• Danger: Can cause headaches, nausea, and in some cases, long-term health effects.
• Risk: Accumulate in poorly ventilated areas.
7. Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)
• Source: Decomposing organic matter in the bilge or sewage systems.
• Danger: Toxic at high concentrations; causes nausea, dizziness, and respiratory paralysis in severe cases.
• Risk: Often found in bilges or poorly maintained waste systems.
