How good is your IAQ?

Most of us spend much of our time indoors. Yet research has shown that the air indoors can be more than 5 times more polluted with Particulate Matter PM than the air outdoors!

Thats because homes, office buildings, schools nursing homes etc are increasingly more insulated, energy efficient and 'Air Tight' which results in poorer ventilation and increased concentrations of indoor airborne pollutants.

But how many of us are aware that the air that we breathe in our homes, in schools, and in offices can also put our health at risk?

The Particulate Matter PM found in indoor air generally consists of pollutants generated indoors as well as pollutants entering in from outside. It contains dust and dirt as well as biological particles and allergens such as mould, dust mite debris, fungal particles, pet dander and pollen.

It is this airborne Particulate Matter PM especially the in finer and smaller PM2.5 range that over the long term in high concentrations can cause damage to the lungs and cardiovascular system. Thats because smaller particles are much more prone to penetrating deepest into the lungs and get trapped inside the air sacs. This can cause inflammation which in turn can change the clotting properties of the blood and so increase the chances of heart attacks.

Monitoring Particulate Levels is key to controlling and improving your Air Quality indoors.

But to date this has involved getting a Professional Evaluation done costing hundreds of pounds using very expensive professional equipment.

But now with the new and affordable HOME AIR QUALITY MONITOR you can take Particulate Level readings at any time and almost instantly. You simply switch on and it displays readings over 2 particulate size ranges which you can simply translate into an Indoor Air Quality Rating.

A great way not only to monitor real time indoor air pollution but a great way to evaluate the effectiveness of your cleaning, dust control and air purification regimes.
