What is the purpose of using positive ventilation in a mitigation workplace?

The purpose of using positive ventilation in a mitigation workplace is to introduce outdoor air into the work area. This process is essential during remediation activities, particularly when dealing with radon mitigation or hazardous materials. By bringing in fresh air from outside, it helps dilute and disperse any potential contaminants or harmful gases that may be present in the indoor environment. This is crucial not only for the safety of the workers but also for ensuring that any radon or other airborne pollutants are effectively managed while remediation work is being conducted.

Introducing outdoor air creates a pressure differential that encourages the flow of air into the space, which can help to displace stale or contaminated air. This is a vital part of maintaining safe working conditions and is commonly utilized in various environmental remediation activities to facilitate a healthier atmosphere within enclosed spaces.
