Abstract
Systems are described for use in removing toxic airborne contaminants from a waxing environment where wax is being applied to sporting equipment. The systems include a base, at least one platform coupled to the base and an airflow generator. The at least one platform is configured to securely receive sporting equipment to be waxed. Each platform includes a first surface that is in contact with the waxing environment, an opposing second surface and at least one opening that extends between the first and second surfaces of each platform. The airflow generator is configured to generate an airflow for pulling harmful airborne contaminants through the at least one opening in each platform in a direction from the first surface to the second surface.
