ABSTRACT:
An air scrubber apparatus which purifies foul air produced during an embalming or an autopsy carried out on a work table disposed in a room. The scrubber apparatus comprises a housing positioned above the work table, this housing having a first and a second side corresponding to a first and a second side of the work table, respectively. The housing defines from its first side to its second side a first longitudinal outer compartment provided at its two ends with outlets to the room, a central compartment having no bottom wall for thereby providing this central compartment with a wide bottom opening to the room, and a second longitudinal outer compartment also provided at its two ends with outlets to the room. An air filter designed to allow passage of air therethrough is positioned over the bottom opening of the central compartment and comprises a filtering material, including aluminum oxide and potassium permanganate, which filtering material allowing purifying of the foul air upon passage thereof through the air filter. A first and a second fan move the foul air towards the interior of the central compartment through the air filter for the purpose of purifying this foul air. The first fan transfers the purified air from the central compartment to the first outer compartment and the second fan transfers this purified air from the central compartment to the second outer compartment to thereby redistribute the purified air in the room through the end outlets of the first and second longitudinal outer compartments. An ultraviolet ray tube may also be mounted in the central compartment or in both the first and second outer compartments to kill germs, bacteria and the like present in the purified air. In order to increase the efficiency of the scrubber apparatus, a plexiglass wall structure may also be provided between the housing and the work table. The use of the scrubber apparatus is not limited to embalming and autopsy. It can of course be used for any other purpose provided that malodorous, pungent and/or corrosive gaseous substances similar to those inherent to embalming and autopsy or which can be removed by the air filter of the scrubber apparatus are mixed to the ambient air to produce foul air.
