One of the sectors where RHT has become increasingly successful is Life Science where air treatment has become a more important part of working life. A particular focus has been in laboratories especially Pathology where due to sample preparation and testing procedures, gaseous pollution has become a concern with its effects on the health of lab professionals and associated staff.

The European Union has increasingly been aware of the challenges formaldehyde poses, and in July 2024 the directive EU 2019/983 the 3rd EU amendment of directive EU 2004/37/EC will become law.

From July 12th 2024, the law states that levels of formaldehyde in labs, mortuaries and embalming suites must not exceed 0.3ppm over an 8hr period.

Until recently Activated Carbon has been the most used adsorptive technology to remove formaldehyde and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), but RHT’s NCCO technology with its more effective, sustainable, longer life and cost effective benefits is being chosen as the technology to meet such pollution challenges going forward.
