Is this really the case?   <strong>Why should users of single-family homes check the quality of the air they breathe?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time in Poland, the heating season has been associated not only with heating payments, but also with <strong>deterioration of air quality<\/strong>. A polluted atmosphere in homes, apartments or office buildings <strong>can cause <\/strong>many negative health effects. These include <strong>headaches, dry throat, upper respiratory tract patency problems, reduced productivity, and watery eyes<\/strong>. The smog report covers a few representative locations for the city, and the answer to the question of whether I know what I&#8217;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.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mechanical_ventilation_vs_smog\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #e22526;\">Mechanical ventilation vs smog<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with mechanical ventilation within their own buildings <strong>cannot feel completely safe<\/strong>. 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/termocent.com\/komfort-nie-tylko-cieplny-jakosc-powietrza-w-budynku\/\">air diagnostic<\/a> 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.   <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smog_in_the_air_%E2%80%93_what_tests_to_perform\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #e22526;\">Smog in the air &#8211; what tests to perform?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air quality associated with smog is indicated by the results of analyses of <strong>PM 2.5 and PM 10<\/strong> particulate matter concentrations.

Air quality control is also done by measuring <strong>the concentration of formaldehyde<\/strong> and <strong>volatile organic compounds (VOCs, VOCs), or the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and CO (carbon monoxide).<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Zapytaj o wi\u0119cej:<\/strong><br\/><strong>Zadzwo\u0144 530 105 398 lub napisz\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:kontakt@termocent.com\">kontakt@termocent.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><strong><em>Are you suffering from headaches, drowsiness, nausea?
