Indoor Air Quality Testing

The term “indoor air quality” (IAQ) refers to the general term for the environmental features found inside buildings that may have an impact on occupant comfort, health, or productivity. We keep an eye on IAQ since we breathe “indoor air” for 90% of the time. Indoor air is constantly recycled, which traps and accumulates pollutants, in contrast to outdoor air. The amounts of contaminants in indoor air, along with the humidity and temperature of the air, are parameters of indoor air quality.

Why does indoor air quality matter?

Low IAQ raises the risk of both acute and chronic health problems, which can lower output, increase absenteeism, and even result in legal problems. Poor indoor air quality is commonly accompanied by symptoms including headache, nausea, dizziness, and exhaustion as well as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Sometimes breathing in indoor air

 Factors Contributing To Poor Indoor Air Quality

The main causes of poor IAQ are gases and respirable particles in the air. Inadequate ventilation, poorly maintained HVAC systems, wood and coal stoves, non-vented gas heaters, automotive exhaust emissions, tobacco smoke in the environment, building materials, carpeting, furniture, maintenance supplies, solvents, and cleaning agents are a few examples of sources. Aside from inadequate ventilation, additional external factors that can increase the concentrations of these pollutants include humidity, temperature, and humidity.

Typical Applications For Iaq Monitoring

• IAQ complaint investigation and analysis
• HVAC system performance monitoring
• Air quality engineering analysis
• Mould investigation and remediation
• Health and comfort assessment
• Airport lounges, shopping malls, offices
• Schools and kindergartens
• Hospitals and elderly care facilities
