Right now, the world is more focused than ever on ways to slow and prevent the spread of disease. When you look around your business, you probably don’t see anything unusual. But according to the EPA, you may be surrounded by higher counts of many airborne pollutants than you would be exposed to outside.

CLEARING THE AIR

It’s important to support the health and comfort of your small business, office workspace or medical practice. Regularly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces is an important step, but one often overlooked aspect of a business’s health and comfort is its air quality. Proactively addressing potential air quality issues can result in cleaner air and more comfortable living. There are multiple factors that may affect the air quality of your business. Indoor particulate matter consists of the visible and invisible airborne particles in the air that can enter your nose and lungs, some triggering allergies, asthma, and other potential health problems. Carbon monoxide, sometimes called the “silent killer,” is a colorless, odorless gas that can build up to dangerous levels if not properly ventilated, causing headaches, drowsiness and, in some cases, death. Volatile organic compounds are emitted by everything from cleaning solutions and paint to new furniture and. These compounds can have an adverse impact on your short- and long-term health, so proper ventilation is essential. The level of air pollution in your community can affect your indoor air quality since opening a door or window brings that air indoors.
