Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) deals with the components of interior air that could affect health and comfort of building occupants.  Indoor Air Quality in commercial environments has become a major issue throughout Europe. More and more companies in the UK are adopting IAQ as a standard practice creating awareness and driving legislation.

Providing good quality air helps maximise the productivity of the workforce and contributes to the profitability of the business. It can also reduce maintenance costs.

 

 

 

Carbon Dioxide

Unusually high carbon dioxide levels may cause drowsiness and headaches and reduced productivity in occupants.

 

Carbon Monoxide

One of the most toxic indoor air contaminants, common sources of carbon monoxide are tobacco smoke, space heaters using fossil fuels, defective central heating furnaces and automobile exhaust. High levels of carbon monoxide can lead to nausea, unconsciousness and death.

 

Moulds and Bacteria

The primary hazard of mould in indoor air quality is the triggering of asthmatic attacks in susceptible persons. The monitoring of humidity levels will inhibit the likelihood of mould growth.

 

Air-monitoring services available from Deba UK Ltd can help clients comply with the requirements of the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations to provide a 'sufficient quantity of fresh or purified air'. This is achieved by survey, risk assessment, regular monitoring, sampling, record keeping and regular reviews.

 

An initial program of key air-quality parameters includes temperature measurement, relative humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, fungi, bacteria, and total inhalable dust. Portable equipment is used in many locations, and measurements are usually taken quarterly to cover the four seasons to establish trends, gather a broad base of information and help eliminate abnormal results.

 

INDEPENDENT ADVICE

 

Deba UK provides a source of advice which is completely independent of any remedial works. We are not linked to any maintenance contractors and we have no vested interests in the supply of equipment, plant or any ductwork cleaning services. Therefore clients can feel confident that they are receiving unbiased and appropriate recommendations.

 

Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

 

Poor standards of IAQ can add to:

• Low morale amongst staff
• Reduced productivity
• Increased absenteeism
• Increased maintenance costs
