Technical background
Air is full of many different types of pollutants
which include carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and particulate
matter (PM). These can all have an impact
on our health. Particulate matter can be
responsible for respiratory problems and can
lead to lung cancer. Meanwhile high levels of
CO2 can cause oxygen deprivation which leads
to dizziness, suffocation or even death if the
levels are high enough. >>
Although poor outdoor air quality impacts indoor air quality, some of the internal air contains
contaminants which have not been bought in from the outside, but originate indoors.
There are two types of indoor air pollutants: biological and chemical.
Biological pollutants include mould which can start to grow if the levels of humidity are high within
a building or if there are leaks in the plumbing or even excess condensation. This mould contains
biological chemicals which can be highly dangerous or even fatal for people asthma sufferers or
the elderly. Radon can also be a cause for concern as it can come from the buildings and has been
responsible for over 1100 deaths from lung cancer each year in the UK.
