Indoor Air Quality

IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) can be affected by microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), gases (including carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds), particulates, or any mass or energy stressor that can induce adverse health conditions. Indoor air is becoming an increasingly more concerning health hazard than outdoor air. Using ventilation to dilute contaminants, filtration, and source control are the primary methods for improving indoor air quality in most buildings.

Determination of IAQ involves the collection of air samples, monitoring human exposure to pollutants, collection of samples on building surfaces and computer modelling of air flow inside buildings.

Air Filter Purifier

A particulate air filter purifier is a device composed of fibrous materials which removes solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from the air. A chemical air filter consists of an absorbent or catalyst for the removal of airborne molecular contaminants such as volatile organic compounds or ozone. Air filters are used in applications where air quality is important, notably in building ventilation systems and in engines.

Filter for Smoking

The World Health Organization considers smoke-free laws to have an influence to reduce demand for tobacco by creating an environment where smoking becomes increasingly more difficult and to help shift social norms away from the acceptance of smoking in everyday life. This can be eliminated by using  filters for smoking in Designated Smoking Areas as people do smoking UAE. Along with tax measures, cessation measures, and education, smoking ban policy is currently viewed as an important element in lowering smoking rates and promoting public health. When correctly and strictly implemented it is seen as one important policy agenda goal to change human behavior away from unhealthy behavior and towards a healthy lifestyle.

Indoor Air Quality

People are supposed to inhale clean air to lead healthy life. A lack of ventilation indoors concentrates air pollution where people often spend the majority of their time. Indoor pollution fatalities may be caused by using pesticides and other chemical sprays indoors without proper ventilation. Worldwide more deaths per year are linked to polluted air  than to automobile accidents.Direct causes of air pollution related deaths include aggravated asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, lung and heart diseases, and respiratory allergies.The health effects caused by Indoor Air Quality may range from subtle biochemical and physiological changes to difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions. These effects can result in increased medication use, increased doctor or emergency room visits, more hospital admissions and premature death. The human health effects of poor air quality are far reaching, but principally affect the body's respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Individual reactions to air pollutants depend on the type of pollutant a person is exposed to, the degree of exposure, the individual's health status and genetics.

Smoking Rooms

As the smoking bar is increasingly applied all over the world, there are few places left for smokers to enjoy their cigarettes. Textile ventilation systems work wonders when it comes to purifying the air in these places. Let's not forget that pubs, clubs, smoking areas etc. are visited not only by smokers and the menace of second hand smoking is always present. Some people smoke at home, especially when they do not a have a terrace or a back yard. So in order to make the home environment healthier, the accommodation in the smoking rooms should have air purifying system to overcome the harmful dust particles in the smoking rooms.
1) Control dusts, microorganisms and other particles
2) To reduce odours
3) To control the toxic contamination below certain concentrations
4) Keep the air movement so over heating can be avoided
5) To keep flammable gases below a certain limit
6) To limit the build-up of carbon dioxide

Indoor air quality and emissions into indoor air

In most countries a separate definition of VOC is used with regard to indoor air quality that comprises each organic chemical compound that can be measured as follows: Adsorption from air on Tenax TA, thermal desorption, gas chromatographic separation over a 100% non polar column (dimethylpolysiloxane). VOC (volatile organic compounds) are all compounds that appear in the gas chromatogram between and including n-hexane and n-hexadecane. Compounds appearing earlier are called VVOC (very volatile organic compounds) compounds appearing later are called SVOC (semi-volatile organic compounds).
