Emergency Vehicle Exhaust Extraction

Firefighters and EMS professionals take every precaution necessary when they're out in the field, but what about the dangers in the station?  Diesel exhaust, found in every fire and emergency station across the country, is produced when the apparatus are turned on and their engines begin burning diesel fuel.  Although manufactures have done an excellent job removing the color of this exhaust, it still contains carcinogenic substances such as benzene, arsenic, and formaldehyde.  Diesel exhaust also contains other dangerous and harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides.  Exposure to these contaminants is not just limited to the engine bay, the exhaust spreads into areas where firemen eat, sleep and reside.  It even permeates their gear.  

Numerous studies and scientific research have shown cancer rates among firemen are exceptionally high, and Nederman vehicle exhaust systems can help reduce this rate.  General ventilation and re-circulation systems are not enough to extract the toxic diesel fumes, and can leave firefighters and EMS professionals still at risk.  The only truly effective method is capturing the gases directly from the tailpipe.  Nederman systems with exhaust rails and tracks provide protection even as the apparatus is in motion exiting the station to ensure the safe evacuation of exhaust fumes.

Our team has been supporting the Nederman Emergency Vehicle Exhaust Extraction line since 1990 and are experienced in every aspect of the project.  We have designed, supplied, installed and maintained emergency stations across Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Northern Delaware, and Northeastern Maryland.
