Industrial dust and fume extraction systems are essential for shielding employees from the hazardous effects of dust, fumes, and gases released by workplace processes. Occupational lung diseases like occupational asthma and other occupational lung diseases may develop as a result of prolonged exposure to these dust and fume particles. Long-term trends show a decrease in accident-related fatalities, but exposure-related fatalities are still stubbornly high.

Dust collection and fume extraction systems are the two main types of local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems, which are crucial for limiting exposure to potentially dangerous substances.
