Commercial Indoor Air Quality

If you own or manage a business, you know that employees are your most valuable asset. Providing a healthy work environment is essential to the success of any business, which includes ensuring the air inside your commercial space is healthy.

Did you know indoor air can be 2-5 times—even up to 100 times—more polluted than outdoor air?

Modern work environments are airtight, which traps allergens and pollutants inside—negatively impacting the health of employees and visitors. Poor air quality can not only make a work environment stuffy but also spread bacteria and viruses, worsen allergies, and exacerbate respiratory, heart and lung conditions.

The Three Phases of Indoor Air Contamination

All three phases can contribute to poor efficiency of your HVAC system and reduce the quality of the air inside your commercial space. Effectively combating these indoor contaminants is an important part of maintaining safe, healthy indoor air quality for all occupants.

How Indoor Air Quality Impacts Occupant Health

Indoor air quality can be affected by temperature, humidity, ventilation and invisible toxins. Common pollutants include dust, smoke, mould/mildew and volatile organic compounds, which are found in cleaning products, pesticides and fragrances. Often, these pollutants get trapped indoors and settle into carpeting and other soft furnishings, as well as behind walls or under floors with cracks or gaps.

Furthermore, combustion appliances like furnaces, water heaters and boilers can produce dangerous indoor pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, especially when faulty. Contact your local Aire Serv if you need carbon monoxide detectors for your commercial property.

Aire Serv’s commercial indoor air solutions help address these issues before they affect the health of facility occupants. We offer innovative indoor air quality solutions you can trust to keep the air in your commercial property clean, safe and healthy.

Signs of Indoor Air Pollution

How do you know if your facility has indoor air quality issues? Musty odours can be a sign of mould, caused by excess moisture from improper ventilation, high humidity levels and latent water damage.

Regular HVAC system repair and maintenance reduces the chance of mould developing, but if you are experiencing a mould infestation, it should be addressed with professional removal immediately as it can cause serious health problems.

You can also look for other common signs of poor indoor air quality, which include:

• Lingering, unpleasant odours
• Excess dust buildup, especially around air vents and ducts
• High humidity levels
• Discolored fabrics and furniture
• Visible mould growth
• Poor ventilation

Furthermore, compromised indoor air quality can cause respiratory and other health issues for commercial property occupants, including:

• Headaches
• Sore/itchy eyes
• Burning/runny nose
• Headaches
• Congestion
• Fatigue
• Trouble concentration
• Worsening allergies/asthma
• Flu-like symptoms
• Heart disease
• Lung disease
• Cancer
• Other serious, long-term conditions

Aire Serv’s professional indoor air solutions offer the most advanced tools and technologies to remove pollutants from your property’s air. Contact your local Aire Serv today to learn about our custom commercial indoor air quality solutions.
