Indoor air quality in commercial spaces is extremely important. Low-quality or contaminated air can cause fatigue, headaches, and other unpleasant symptoms and it can trigger asthma in those who have it. If serious levels of mold, mildew, bacteria and other contaminants are present in indoor air, then people are at risk of experiencing serious health effects.
But what causes indoor air pollution, and how can you improve and continually monitor the quality of your air? As a commercial building owner, you’re responsible for keeping your buildings well ventilated and supplied with high quality air. In this article, we explore some helpful ways to ensure your building has high quality air at all times.
