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.

 

AirAdvice monitors survey indoor air quality by measuring particulate matter, chemical pollutants, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature and relative humidity.

The monitor collects IAQ data continuously, stores it in 1-minute intervals, and sends that data to the AirAdvice servers via its built-in land line modem.

Simple to use, the monitor plugs into a wall outlet and must remain undisturbed to ensure findings will be reliable.  We 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, the monitor takes in room air through a fan, samples it electronically, and then returns the air sample to the room.

Once your data is received, we process it and send confidential weekly reports to you describing each measured component of indoor air, the results, and the importance of the findings.   The reports then compare the level of that component throughout the day to desirable levels.  We help you interpret these results, which are presented in graphic form.  And when a health, safety or comfort concern arises, we assist you in exploring remedies.

We look forward to helping you improve your indoor environment and overall well-being!
