We compare the results we get to the current occupational and workplace exposure limits and the relevant regulations. We then provide a list of recommendations when applicable and necessary.

Practical Benefits of Indoor Air Quality Testing and Monitoring

As we have seen, the potential causes of poor indoor air quality are many and there are numerous regulatory mechanisms in place that address the issue. But there are other reasons to have Clean Air UK in to test the indoor air quality aside from the fact that it is a regulatory responsibility. Here are 4 practical benefits of indoor air quality testing and monitoring in Maidstone:

1: Fewer sick days – In some cases when staff members go home sick for the day their nasal irritation, headaches, sore throat and more are the result of poor air quality. A situation that can often be remedied by indoor air quality testing and monitoring.

2: A more comfortable work environment – Clean air reduces eye irritation, prevents headaches, and will not irritate the respiratory systems of those with allergies. The result is a more comfortable working environment for everyone. Statistics prove comfortable workers are productive workers.

3: Reduced energy bills/reduced carbon footprint – Dirty air puts more of a strain on the HVAC system than clean air. This increased strain forces the system to work harder increasing both energy consumption and your carbon footprint.

4: Reduced odours – Air quality in an office can be negatively affected by food odours from the lunch/break room, by mould and mildew in the ductwork and/or bathrooms and other sources both environmental and manmade. Having your air quality tested, and implementing remedial efforts as a result, can remove odours and further enhance the comfort of yourself and your staff.
