In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook what we can't see – the air we breathe. Invisible threats may lurk in the spaces we consider safe. When we spend so much of our time in the workplace, it’s vital that the air we breathe is healthy for us. This blog aims to shed light on the pressing need for air quality testing, discussing the unseen pollutants that can impact our health and well-being.
Here’s what you need to know:
Air quality is important for both our health and comfort. When we breathe in, the hairs in our nose and air passages generally remove particles larger than 10 micrometres in size. Any particles smaller than this go straight into your lungs and can have an impact on your health. Common health effects from poor air quality include irritation of the eyes, throat and lungs as well as worsening existing respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis.
When coming into the workplace, it’s important that the air quality is high in order to limit the number of sick days and absences within the company, as well as make it a pleasurable place to be for employees.
Regular air quality assessments are important because factors are constantly changing. You’ll need to consider the age of the building as it can deteriorate over time and expose new hazards that weren’t there before. New construction in or around your workplace can also increase the exposure of dangerous air particles. Furthermore, air quality can be affected by the changing seasons, so you need to get air quality investigations regularly.
Testing should be completed once a year to ensure the safety of your workplace. You can carry out air quality testing more often if you suspect something is wrong. For example, if you notice many of your employees are getting sick with similar symptoms, it could mean that there is something in the building that is making them ill. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
The only way to truly test the air quality is to find an air quality specialist who can conduct accurate and safe air quality assessments in your building.
