Improving Indoor Air Quality in Buildings

Improving Indoor Air Quality in Buildings
2

• Indoor air quality (IAQ) affects health at home
  and in industrial environments. Here are some
  ways of improving the IAQ to protect human and
  pet health

3
Changes have to be Made to Building Designs

• As compared to old structures the newer buildings
  are now more air tight and use air envelopes. Air
  conditioning is used to improve IAQ.

4
Use of New Building Materials and Systems

• New materials and systems are used to make
  buildings more comfortable while keeping the
  running cost low. Dust suppression systems knock
  down dust.

5
Industrial Combustion Products from Heating

• Where there is heat the air can get contaminated
  due to the humidity produced. This infected air
  can affect the airways and increase the risk of
  disease.

6
Biological Particles Such as Fungi are Inhalable

• Parasitic pathogens, fungi, and algae get
  attached to dust. The particles are small and are
  inhalable and can get deposited in the lungs.

7
Radon and its Decay Products

• The risk of developing lung cancer increases with
  exposure to high levels of radon and its
  products. It is a colorless, odorless,
  radioactive gas.

Dust Created by Industrial Processes

• The cement manufacturing process generates a lot
  of dust which is easily captured by dust
  suppression systems. Other industries also use
  these systems.

• Authorities are always looking for ways to
  increase workers safety. For customized dust
  suppression systems contact the experienced
  companies.
