One way of detecting VOCs in your home is the use of indoor air quality monitors. Air quality monitors are devices that are used to track the quality of air in a home. These devices can report on a number of Air Quality Measurements like Particulate Matter (PM : PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Indoor Air Formaldehyde (HCHO), Real-time Air Quality Index (AQI), Humidity, Temperature and more
Sometimes, it is difficult to evade all of your asthma triggers. Though, with proper indoor air testing, planning, prevention and precautions, you can reduce the exposure to your triggers and ultimately reduce your risk for an asthma flare-up or attack.
Studies have demonstrated that indoor poor-quality air has a significant impact on us. Around 3.8 million people worldwide die every year due to indoor air pollution. Moreover low-quality air affects human productivity and human capability to process information. That’s why regular indoor air monitoring and improvement is essential to your well-being.
Even the World Health Organization has stated that 9 out of 10 people worldwide breathe in polluted air. That's why they have instated air quality guidelines to help people live in a healthy environment. The outside pollution isn't in your hands, but the indoor environment can be controlled by specific measures.
Understand How Indoor Climate Decline
Within the last couple of decades, we have experienced outbreaks of several airborne viruses and bacteria like SARS, avian influenza pandemic, and now Corona Virus. According to studies, the homes with proper ventilation prevented their families from being affected by the outbreaks. Even indoor air quality monitors can make a huge difference in your health. But the majority of people don’t know the factors that create an ideal indoor climate. Most of the factors can be narrowed down to inadequate Ventilation. So, we will focus on understanding how the small components of inadequate ventilation lead to harmful effects.
