PC fire-brigade warns: Health risks by dust in the PC

With dust added ventilation opening (openPR) - dust leads to breath way complaints, lack of concentration up to the housing fire

Hamburg, 1. March 2007 - Regular house and office finery belong for all humans to the everyday life. The windows are cleaned, the carpet is polished sucked, which shelves entstaubt, bath and kitchen on high polish. But PC and Notebook are usually neglected. The PC fire-brigade guesses, in regular intervals also the housing of computer and CO. to clean. Too if much dust sets off inside the equipment, it can become dangerous.

The PC fire-brigade had to disengage in the past year about 253 times to private households and offices, because PCs and Notebooks were contaminated by dust and did not function correctly therefore any longer. Of Germany oldest PC suburb service therefore, the inside of computer and CO guesses/advises. to release in regular intervals from the dust to. „The consequences of dust in computers can be dramatic “, explain Michael Kittlitz, managing director of the PC fire-brigade. „You reach from occasional system crashes to the heat death of the computer. It is correctly dangerous, if the housing becomes so hot that it begins to burn. Besides the dust can release exhaust noises also disturbing. “To dust contamination office computers are particularly susceptible, since they run in continuous operation.

With sensitive persons the dust, which collected in the Desktop or Notebook housing, can affect also the health. Reason: On the dust harmful bacteria and micro organisms set off, which are transferred by the ventilation system to the direct environment. Particularly Allergiker or humans with breath way illnesses are concerned. Allergologen assume that the increased air pollution is located in buildings, among other things released by PCs in direct connection with the alarming rise of asthma, allergies and chronic illnesses such as headache and reducingness.

The problems develop, because the exhausts of the computer as well as the cooling air suck much dust in the inside of a computer. By temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius „bonds together “the dust proper with the PC components. It sticks ventilation openings together at the housing and settles on processor cooling fins, exhaust rotors, plates and electrical construction units. If the dust is not regularly removed, less and less cooling air arrives into the computer by the dusty cooling openings. The processor cooling is strongly decreased. In addition deposits reduce the exhaust achievement or them lead to the total failure of the exhaust. The quiet running of the exhaust is impaired, which accompanies with an increasing volume. Dust on plates, power packs and energized parts leads to electromagnetic non-operate currents up to short-circuits.

„We measured in Desktop housings temperatures from 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. Most commercial non removable disks are appropriate for example only for an operating temperature up to maximally 55 degrees Celsius. Damage to the non removable disk would be so pre-programmed “, warns Michael Kittlitz, managing director of the PC fire-brigade before the dangers of the dust in PCs.

The PC fire-brigade gives Tipps, how one can remove the dust in the PC and in the Notebook regularly:

1. The computer should be entstaubt at least once in the year. First it is separated and screwed on from electricity mains. Best one uses a bottle with compressed air and/or compressed air spray, around the dust from the equipment for pusten - only in the free one or well ventilated areas. Likewise the components can be sucked off carefully with a fine essay of the vacuum cleaner. Clean in particular the exhausts with the CCU, the diagram map and with the power pack carefully. In no case the hardware with a rag or a water should be cleaned.

2. The installation of a replaceable air cleaner is recommendable to place not only in order the cooling of the computer surely to prevent but also around the load of the room air with harmful dust. Most PC housings can be rigged fast and problem-free with an air cleaner.

„At the latest if the housing of the computer makes hot and the exhausts loud of noises, should the PC vacuum cleaner is seized. Because then the cooling of the equipment does not function any longer perfectly - an alarm signal for too much dust in the PC housing “, thus PC expert Michael Kittlitz.
