My husbands family owns a large asphalt company here in washington state. One of the many dirty jobs that are involved with the ashplat business is cleaning out the filter in the plant. To clean out the filter you have to get inside the filters and use a airhose to blow out the filter. Since you are inside the filter at the time of cleaning the dirt, and dust gets everywhere. You have to tape off your pants, shoes, and shirts to try and prevent all the dirt from covering your body but that doesn't even make a differance. Not only does the dust and dirt fill the air inwhich you intake, but it gets super hot while in the summer. We would like to invite you out here to washington to experiance a real dirty job with asphalt paving.
Hi, I'm a researcher at Dirty Jobs and am interested in learning more about cleaning the asphalt plant filter. I'm wondering if you could send more information about your husband's company. Please send contact information to dirtyjobsresearch@yahoo.com
