Indoor air quality can be up to 5 times
more polluted than outdoor air

There is a lot of attention given to the health effects of the air quality outside in our environment but as we spend up to 90% of our time indoors, understanding the health effects of poor air quality inside is just as important.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality in our homes and workplace and how it relates to our health and overall comfort. Indoor air pollution can cause problems soon after exposure or even possibly years later. Typical short-term problems include irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Air pollutants can also trigger asthma and allergy reactions.

Manage your Indoor Air Quality


Knowing and understanding what pollutants are in your environment is key to managing the health and comfort of everyone in your home. If you are aware of what factors inside your home can cause health symptoms you can take action.

The cair air quality monitor contains sensors that continuously collect information about the air quality in your home and via its smartphone app it will alert you with personalised notifications when levels of airborne contaminants 8. irritants (like animal dander, mould, toxins and pollen) are elevated.

Particle

Airborne particles encompass a broad range of constituents such as mould, pet dander and dust mite allergens. Particulate matter (PM of particle pollution) monitoring is the most critical parameter of air quality for asthma and allergy sufferers and is divided into two groups by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Coarse Particles (ranging from 10-3 microns in size) Typically; dust, ash, large bacteria and dense oil smoke.

Fine Particles (ranging 2.5 microns and below) Typically; allergens (pet dander, dust mite droppings), dense smoke, fine dust and some bacterial spores.

VOC's (volatile organic compounds)

These are chemicals which easily evaporate, such as, perfume sprays, scented candles, open fires and cleaning products. Every cleaner, chemical or product that has a distinct smell is releasing these chemicals, and they are ever present in the modern home. It is a known fact that an overabundance of these chemicals can Lead to nausea, unease and discomfort.

Temperature

Temperature is the most personal of all of the features of AO. Each individual will prefer a specific temperature range they find comfortable to live in. Bouts of cold air can be a trigger for respiratory issues, especially in asthmatics, and elevated levels (alongside raised humidity levels) can create an increasingly attractive environment for mould to grow. Again, it is all about the perfect balance of comfort and care that will be most beneficial.

Humidity:

Maintaining a Low humidity level can be helpful to people who suffer from asthma and allergies, as both dust mites and moulds favour damper environments. Lower humidity has also been shown to lower indoor pollen counts. But the side effect of lowering humidity is that your general comfort may be impacted upon. Skin and lips may lose valuable moisture, and nasal passageways may become dry and irritated. Essentially what is needed is a healthy balance, keeping allergens down while maintaining the comfort in your home. This is even more important in countries that have typically low/high levels of humidity to begin with.
