Why measure air particles?
Health and safety. Particles in the air can have a negative impact on people's health, especially for individuals with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory issues. They can irritate the airways, cause breathing problems, and over time increase the risk of heart and lung diseases. By measuring and reducing particle levels, people are protected from these risks.
Identification of pollution sources. Particle measurement can help identify specific sources of pollution in the building. High particle levels may indicate problems with ventilation, insufficient cleaning, or that particles are entering from the outdoor environment. By measuring the particles, actions can be taken to reduce these sources.
Air quality control and comfort. High particle levels can make the air feel stuffy and uncomfortable, negatively affecting people's well-being and comfort. Particle measurement helps ensure that air quality is sufficiently high to create a pleasant indoor environment.
Prevention of sick building syndrome. Buildings with poor air quality can cause health issues for those who occupy them, a phenomenon known as "sick building syndrome." Particle measurement can help prevent these problems by keeping indoor air clean and free from harmful particles.
Reduction of maintenance costs Particles such as dust can accumulate in ventilation systems, machinery, and other sensitive areas, increasing the need for maintenance and cleaning. By measuring and reducing particle levels, the risk of damage to systems and machinery can be minimized, thereby saving on maintenance costs.
