Britain has been formally warned by the European Commission for breaching safe limits on industrial air pollution and officials have started investigating potentially dangerous levels of business pollution in the UK.

The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs said the commission was pursuing infraction proceedings against the UK for contravening European air quality legislation, which came into force in 2005. If no agreement is reached, the EU may take the UK government to the European Court of Justice.

Although LGAC’s are not wholly to blame for such breaches that do actively contribute to the overall figure for air pollution, especially with the on going use of vent to air systems.  Such warnings have a knock on effect with increasing fines and more stringent regulation on any sort of industrial pollution, including laser users.

Laser Back pack for cleaning purposes.  An important if not under advertised sector of the laser industry.  Non the less CIProcess ltd have developed a system in conjuction with their German partners that is a portable laser cleaning system.  Laser cleaning is a process of using bundled focused light in a broad narrow beam to strip the upper most surface of a dirty substrate.  The laser back pack iu designed for restoration and removal of time etched dirt, rust paint.  The lasers direct a high precision beam onto the cleaning surface, which reflects laser energy. Any contaminants on the surface absorb the laser energy and are quickly vaporized, with any fumes or particulates removed by an in-built filter. This gentle cleaning method avoids the erosion and abrasion that normally occurs with most other cleaning methods.  We thought it should be mentioned due its stunning versatility and innovation see here for more.
