Indoor Air Quality in the Office
Clean Air is Essential to Great Work
On average, we take more than 20,000 breaths per day. Those 20,000 moments make us dependent upon the quality of the air around us. That is why it is essential to minimize the presence of indoor pollutants within our workplaces.
Supporting Healthy Indoor Environments
Poor indoor air quality has many negative effects on the human body. From respiratory irritation to reduced concentration, these factors are silent occupational hazards causing harm to worker health and effectiveness.
AAD: Asthma, Allergies & Dust
The impact of indoor pollutants is no joke. While the office is usually considered low-risk, there are all sources of pollen, dust mites and other irritants that accumulate from the people and materials we interact with each day. These irritants create opportunities for asthma and allergies to flare, making your workplace, for some, the worst place to be.
Poor air quality can lead to a variety of problems like difficulty concentrating, weakened immune system, and other negative health impacts. And more than ever before, today's workers are aware and vocal about the indoor air they breath.
Organizations are coming to understand that clean air in the office isn't just a nice to have, but an essential to protect employees as well as the bottom line.
Flooring’s Impact on Air Quality
Air filtration, consistent cleaning practices and proper ventilation are all key factors in maintaining good air quality. However, flooring also plays a significant role. From the material construction to ease of maintenance, the right solution enhances your strategies for protecting employee health.
