Safety notes regarding the use of aspirators:
For maximum safety, never use any ventilator if the nature of the fumes is unknown, or the gases to be extracted could be flammable, or even explosive. In these cases, only positive ventilation can be used, blowing into the contaminated area, creating an „air wash” without sucking any gases up with the device.
Extraction and then pressurization of explosive gases can make them even more explosive and reactive to any spark or flame.
The hydraulic, single-phase, or electric single-phase models can only extract toxic or poisonous but not explosive fumes, such as exhaust gases, welding fumes, CO2, etc.
There have been many cases where in attempt to help a victim, stunned by gas, the rescuers didn’t realise the cause of the accident, and they too were fatally poisoned.
Some toxic gases, and even the lack of oxygen are odourless, and can be fatal without any sign of danger.
