Office air can make you sick: How to protect yourself & your colleagues
Air quality in the workplace can affect your health as well as productivity. Poor indoor air quality can lead to sick building syndrome.
This is how sick building syndrome manifests itself:
- Fatigue & exhaustion
- Headache
- Concentration disorders
- irritated mucous membranes
- Dizziness & Nausea
- increased irritability
In addition to stale air caused by the exhaled air of workers and thus exceeding the CO₂ limits, triggers also include pollutants, contaminants, vapors or increased noise levels. If the proportion of exhaled air increases, the concentration of pathogens also rises. This means that viruses and the like can spread more quickly. The risk of infection increases significantly.
Optimal climate in the office for more productivity & health
High levels of pollutants in the office due to electrical equipment or incorrect and/or inadequate ventilation are detrimental to health. For more productivity and a healthy office climate, it is necessary to check relevant measured values, detect pollutants and take action if necessary. The CO₂ value in particular should be monitored continuously. This is because the measured value is an excellent indicator for adhering to ventilation phases or drawing conclusions about the viral load in the office air.
Air measuring devices such as the air-Q measure all relevant pollutants in the air that affect health in the office. Our air-Q air measuring device reminds you to change the air regularly and warns you if the air is questionable using the intuitive traffic light system on the LED display. The integrated health advisor with the air-Q health index and the air-Q performance index tells you when you and your team need a break because concentration is at risk of waning. This is also useful in summer temperatures. After all, the temperature at workplaces should not exceed 26 degrees.
In addition to basic monitoring of carbon dioxide, temperature and VOCs in the office, the various air-Q product variants offer from 5 to 15 finely tuned individual sensors. This gives you full control over the air quality, ensures a lower error rate during working hours, guarantees sufficient energy for strategic decisions and prevents losses in productivity.
