On average, we spend around 90% of time indoors. Given the significant amount of time spent at homes, in the workplace and other indoor environments - such as schools, shopping centres, and public transportation - maintaining good indoor air quality is essential to protect health and well-being.
Atmospheric Quality specialises in providing accurate and reliable measurements for various air pollutants and harmful compounds that may be affecting the health and well-being of occupants in your home or workplace.
Our services include monitoring and measuring the following key indoor air pollutants:
- Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5): Fine particles suspended in the air can pose significant health risks, especially for those with respiratory issues or weakened immune systems. We measure PM10 (particles less than 10 micrometres in diameter) and PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter) to help you identify and mitigate sources of particulate matter in your indoor environment.
- Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): Commonly produced by combustion processes, such as gas stoves or heaters, NO2 can cause respiratory problems and exacerbate existing health conditions. Our monitoring services measure NO2 levels, helping you take appropriate action to improve air quality and protect occupants from exposure.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): VOCs are a diverse group of organic chemicals emitted as gases from various sources, including building materials, cleaning products, and personal care items. Some VOCs have been linked to adverse health effects, such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation. Our monitoring services detect and measure VOC levels, providing crucial information for reducing exposure and improving indoor air quality.
- Formaldehyde: This toxic gas is commonly found in building materials, furniture, and household products. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can cause respiratory issues and has been classified as a human carcinogen. We measure formaldehyde concentrations, allowing you to take necessary steps to reduce exposure and create a healthier indoor environment.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): High levels of CO2 in indoor spaces can lead to decreased cognitive function, fatigue, and discomfort. Our CO2 monitoring services help you identify and address ventilation issues to ensure a comfortable and healthy environment for occupants.
