Did you know?
Science continues to indicate that the air within buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. In fact, indoor air pollution is a leading cause of death today at over 1.6 million deaths per year

CO2 in our Indoor Environment
High carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in working, learning and living areas can be hazardous to occupants. The challenge for many is that they are not clear on what is considered a high CO2 level, how to measure it and how to mitigate it. Developing a clear CO2 removal strategy is key to healthy indoor air.
Particulate Matter & TVOC's
Airborne particulate matter (PM) is not a single pollutant, but rather is a mixture of many chemical species, a complex mixture of solids, aerosols and vary greatly in size, shape and chemical makeup. Particles are defined by their diameter for air quality regulatory purposes. Those with a diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10) are inhalable into the lungs and can induce adverse health effects. Fine particulate matter is 2.5 microns or less in diameter (PM2.5).
Viruses & Bacteria
Even before we began masking and avoiding crowded spaces, bad indoor air quality was responsible for millions of deaths and health issues. Although we spend the overwhelming majority of our time indoors, there is a lack of appreciation and awareness of the importance of the air around we breathe. But unlike outdoor air, the quality of the air we breathe indoors is not regulated.
Indoor Air Pollution
The future of indoor air pollution control lies in the hands of technology. New methods have been developed to remove and detect with more precise, efficient, and compact devices thanks to advances in environmental technology. Fortunately, as we move towards greener energy the burden lessens.
Air Quality Monitoring
IAQ monitoring gives business owners and building managers the data they need to correct issues before they turn into health risks. In addition to creating a healthier environment, indoor air quality monitoring targets other goals of facilities managers. It ensures HVAC systems are performing optimally and that disinfecting systems are working properly.
Increase ventilation
Properly ventilate your space by bringing in fresh air, filtering the air that is there, and improving air flow. Improving ventilation can help you reduce virus particles in the air and keep illness from spreading. Good ventilation, along with other preventive actions, can help prevent you and others from getting and spreading COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses.
HEPA Filtration
High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters can reduce indoor pollution, effectively removing pollutants like mold spores, pet dander, dust mites, and tobacco smoke. In fact, HEPA filters remove 99.97% of airborne particles that are 0.3 microns or larger from the air that passes through it.
UV Light for IAQ
UV air disinfection systems can be effective at applying intense UV energy to inactivate airborne pathogens as they flow through the air. Air disinfection systems are often placed downstream of the HVAC coils. This location keeps the coil, drain pan, and wetted surfaces free of microbial growth and also disinfects the moving air.
Bipolar Ionization
Needlepoint bipolar ionization technology creates and releases ions into the airstream using your existing HVAC system as the delivery method. When these ions disperse throughout a space, they seek out and form bonds with particles in the air through a process called agglomeration. This creates a snowball effect in which particles begin to cluster together. The larger a cluster of particles becomes, the easier it is for your system to filter it out of the air.
