Smog in the apartment
The heating season not only means heating payments, but also a significant deterioration in air quality, negatively affecting people’s well-being and health. Testing in a building to assess air quality due to the discomfort felt by indoor workers is done in a couple of options.
Find out what the air quality study gives you!
Air quality testing is associated with advanced studies that provide us with, it might seem, unnecessary information to the standard user. Is this really the case? Why should users of single-family homes check the quality of the air they breathe?
For a long time in Poland, the heating season has been associated not only with heating payments, but also with deterioration of air quality. A polluted atmosphere in homes, apartments or office buildings can cause many negative health effects. These include headaches, dry throat, upper respiratory tract patency problems, reduced productivity, and watery eyes. The smog report covers a few representative locations for the city, and the answer to the question of whether I know what I’m breathing indoors remains in the zone of conjecture. Consideration should be given to implementing continuous monitoring of indoor air or randomly inspecting it during the heating season.
Mechanical ventilation vs smog
People with mechanical ventilation within their own buildings cannot feel completely safe. Without periodic inspection, it is difficult to determine whether the air filters are properly performing their role and whether they are sufficient. Ordering an indoor air diagnostic will give us information about the need to purchase a special air purifier or install more efficient filters. Regardless of the outcome of the analysis, carrying it out will help protect our respiratory tract from smog, as well as our budgets from unnecessary expenses.
Smog in the air – what tests to perform?
The air quality associated with smog is indicated by the results of analyses of PM 2.5 and PM 10 particulate matter concentrations. Such studies are relatively simple to conduct. In turn, their benefits can protect building occupants from the consequences of chronic inhalation of polluted air. Air quality control is also done by measuring the concentration of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs, VOCs), or the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and CO (carbon monoxide).

Are you suffering from headaches, drowsiness, nausea? The reason for this may be bad air quality in your apartment. Check out the air quality tests we conduct that may allow you to eliminate this problem!
– Basic air quality control includes testing the concentration of carbon dioxide CO2, carbon monoxide CO, temperature and humidity levels in designated rooms.
– Measurement of volatile organic compounds VOCs and formaldehyde for selected rooms. These compounds are very easily converted to gas or vapor form. They then volatilize, and thus enter the lungs with the air. Most of them contain carcinogenic compounds, irritate the eyes, skin, throat, can cause dizziness, as well as headaches.
– Measurement of ventilation performance, as well as microbiological (mycological) examination. In such a study, the main types and species of organisms contributing to biocorrosion are determined, with an indication of their harmfulness to human health, building fabric and also documentation.
– Controlling the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5. These dusts consist of a mixture of airborne particles. They can contain toxic substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or heavy metals. They can reach the upper respiratory tract and lungs.
Without a doubt,it is necessary to know what you breathe in your own home. Air quality studies conducted by experts will be used to decide whether we can live in our own home without worrying about our health.
