HEALTHIER AIR
INDOOR AIR QUALITY TESTING
For many of us, most of our time is spent indoors and this is a vital environment to our health and wellbeing. With rising pollution and airborne viruses, organisations have put more focus on understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors in order to reduce the risk of indoor health concerns.
Primary sources of indoor air pollutants. Sources of indoor air problems are often impossible to see, but the effects can show up immediately or years after exposure has occured. Indoor pollution sources that release gases or emissions into the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems.
The type of emissions that can have an adverse effect on our health could be second hand smoke, mould, bacteria, carbon monoxide or solids or liquids that contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands from common household products such as paints, cleaning suppliers, building materials and furnishings, office equipments, plastics, paper and wood surfaces, glues and adhesives, markers, soaps and disinfectants and more. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants.
