INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Poor air quality can lead to diseases that will not only bring discomfort to the sufferer but to everyone. This can be very costly also because of medications and trips to the doctor. In a workplace, this means more absences or low productivity. This will also result to more claims from health benefits.

Not only financially draining, but suffering the curse of an indoor air pollution can be very stressful and depressing, too.

Air quality testing can be divided into two – the one for home and the other for businesses. Indoor air quality home is specially made for homes. This concentrates on certain areas like the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. What makes this kind of testing especial is that more potential allergens can contribute to the pollution. Pets, household cleaners, and personal hygiene products are few of the usual contributors to the health of air indoors.

The only challenge for indoor air quality businesses is that the area is so big. Usually, an entire building has to be tested just to make sure.

These two types of air quality testing will try to determine the potential pollutants. Among the common pollutants are cigarette smoke, radon, molds, carbon monoxide, volatile compounds, bacteria, asbestos fibers, and carbon dioxide. Skin flakes from humans and hair from pets also add to the dirty air.

As mentioned, testing the indoor air quality in any area is just the start of another process—cleaning. The air duct system has to be cleaned because this is usually the major access of pollutants. Add to this the ability of the system to distribute area to all areas of a building.

Although cleaning the air duct is fine, but a professional’s way of doing it is better. They can do condenser unit cleaning and other special processes. To make sure that no speck of dirt or dust is left in the system. Even the indoors must be cleaned to make sure that the air quality will improve.
