Indoor Air Quality Monitor
Poor indoor air quality can have a surprisingly wide range of serious health effects, especially when exposure is prolonged.
You may notice immediate IAQ problems in a room with musty or unpleasant odors, cold or hot spots, or drafts. Beyond causing discomfort, these conditions and others can impact functional health significantly. For example, one little-known but especially undesirable health effect comes from high levels of carbon dioxide, which makes a room feel too “stuffy.” In these conditions, your mental abilities are lessened, and learning is slowed.
Further, contaminants like dust, mold, pollen, pet dander, and chemicals from household products can aggravate respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies. Inadequate ventilation, especially in crowded areas, increases the chance of contracting infectious disease. And long-term exposure to pollutants like carbon monoxide or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may lead to headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and even more serious conditions such as cardiovascular problems or neurological damage.
For children, the elderly, and those with preexisting health issues, the risks are even higher.
Breathing clean air indoors isn’t just a comfort—it’s essential to overall well-being.
Most of our monitors survey indoor air quality by measuring particulate matter, chemical pollutants, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature and relative humidity.
Simple to use, the monitors plug into a wall outlet or operate with a rechargeable battery. We can provide instruction about effective locations for each monitor. Multiple monitors can be deployed in complicated spaces to provide a more complete picture of IAQ. Once placed, they must remain undisturbed to ensure findings are reliable.
The monitors then take in room air through a fan, sample it electronically, and return the air sample to the room. IAQ data is collected continuously and stored at regular intervals.
Data generated by many of our monitors can be viewed in real time on your cell phone by downloading a free app. Easy-to-read results indicate whether each component of air falls within, above or below a healthy range. You can use the app in lieu of an on-site alarm to inform you about the need to adjust environmental conditions in which the monitor is located.
You also have the option of requesting a specific air monitor model that enables us to digitally send to you confidential weekly reports on each measured component of indoor air. The reports compare the level of that component throughout the day to desirable levels and are presented in numerical and graphic formats.
We are available to help you interpret your results. And when a health, safety or comfort concern arises, we can assist you in exploring remedies.
We look forward to helping you improve your indoor environment and overall well-being!
