Data Centers

Data Centers: Not exception to Pollutants

Poor Air quality and high level of dust in the data centers can be the reason for the failure of hardware and servers. The air pollution that builds up in data centerscreates high levels of contaminants and air gases such as Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen dioxide that are corrosive to expensive computer equipment such as motherboards, Integrated circuits (IC chips). Air purification can help to reduce the effects of corrosives like sulphur that are damaging the sensitive data processing equipment.

Not only is computer equipment at a risk from contaminated air in data centers, but the employees working in these buildings are exposed to air pollution that can impact their health.  Asthma, loss of focus, fatigue, nausea, and headaches are the possible results of prolonged exposure to indoor air pollution in the data centers.  It can lead to increased employee absenteeism and hamper the productivity.
