Improving Air Quality

The Importance of Air Quality

None of us can live without clean air as we have to breathe all day, every day. Nowadays, people spend most of their time indoors, in work places, leisure facilities, homes and schools – up to 92%.


Indoor Air Quality is very important to our health and is more of a problem now than it was in the past for three reasons:


  1. The way buildings are constructed,
  2. The lack of ventilation in newer buildings for the sake of energy efficiency,
  3. Smaller or inoperable windows


Lack of good ventilation can cause many problems with Indoor Air Quality because indoor air is not circulated as much as outdoor air. The indoor air can retain chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), mould spores, pollen, microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOC’s), toxins, bacteria, viruses, and other irritants more easily than outdoor air.



In the last few years, mainly for the reasons above, indoor air has become more polluted than outdoor air even in the most industrialised cities!

The longer you are exposed to indoor air pollutants, the more likely you will develop health problems such as respiratory diseases (like asthma) and cardiovascular diseases


It does happen to people like you.


Young children, the elderly, and those suffering from chronic disease will be the most likely to develop problems due to poor indoor air quality.


Luckily, we’re not powerless. Personalized health-focused environmental insights help to make invisible air pollution in our environment visible to us all year round.


With the right intelligence, we can empower people to take control of the air they breathe and ensure better health outcomes for millions within the UK.

Common Questions

  • What is IAQ

    IAQ stands for indoor Air Quality and refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of the building's occupants.

  • What are the immediate effects

    A single exposure to poor IAQ can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose & throat, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable.

  • What are the long term effects

    Years of exposure to pollutants can lead to respiratory diseases, heart diseases and cancer.

  • What are the common sources of pollutants

    Sources of indoor pollution include tobacco products, building materials & finishes, furnishings, temperature & humidity, indoor chemical reactions, cleaning supplies, heating systems, molds, pathogens and human activities including virus spreading though touching & breathing.

  • Ventialtion

    Outdoor air can enter and leave a building through infiltration, natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation. Poor ventilation can lead to health problems.

Internal Air QuAlity Requirements

The Legal Requirements Surrounding Internal Air Quality

Under the current Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Occupiers Liability Act 1984, an employer has a duty of care to ensure that a safe and healthy environment is provided.


The Approved Code of Practice accompanying the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations, states that indoor air quality should be at least equal to, but ideally better than, the air outside your building and that all commercial premises must have an Air Quality Management system in place – especially as the Internal Air Quality is generally at least 5 times worse than externally.


To achieve this then an Air Quality Assessment would need to be completed.

UVC Air Purifiers

24 Jul, 2022
What is UVC You can’t understand the probable UV air purifier dangers if you don’t know what a UV is. UV(ultraviolet) is a light spectrum that’s often invisible that comes with wavelengths. Sunlight also contains ultraviolet rays whose exposure causes sunburn on human skin. This means that UV rays can be dangerous both to you and your pets. There are various light rays that exist today such as gamma and X-ray rays which experts have termed as quite harmful to humans. In the past, UV light was utilised to disinfect water, the air, and surfaces. If you are wondering whether this technology is effective when it comes to enhancing the quality of air in a home and eliminating airborne particles, this article will illustrate how UV air purifiers function and how effective they are when it comes to cleaning the air.

Why Ventilation is Important

By Blam Websites • 20 Jun, 2021
Ventilation plays a vital role in the running of an enclosed workplace. It helps to carry fresh, clean air through the space, keep employees happy and healthy, and maintain the efficiency of the workplace on a daily basis. Regulations surrounding workplace ventilation have been put in place for good reason. When adhered to, any hot, humid or stale air within the space will be replaced with clean air at the right rate. The general rule of thumb is to keep at least 5-8 litres of fresh air within the space, every second for every occupant. This goes for any air that is clean and free of impurities that could cause workers to fall ill or be unhappy with the working environment. The vast majority of enclosed workplaces are required to have a certain amount of fresh air passing through the space. That includes anything from an office space to a commercial kitchen, a spray booth to a hospital, for example. Without proper ventilation, it’s very difficult to get a good amount of clean air into these enclosed spaces, and with many individuals coming and going throughout the day, it’s vital to provide clean air to keep these individuals healthy. There are some exceptions when it comes to enclosed workplaces and the standard ventilation guidelines. For example, a workplace designed for growing mushrooms needs a humid space for the product growth.
