Workplace Air Quality Testing
Airclean Environmental carry out Workplace and Domestic Indoor Air Quality Testing in Offices, Care Homes, Hospitals, Public Spaces and in Factories to identify high levels of common pollutants that can be harmful to occupants health. These pollutants could lead to short or long term sickness and also aid towards the symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome.
With the increase of air pollution in towns and cities across the UK, mechanical ventilation systems can draw in outside pollutants from car exhaust fumes or local industry such as Nitrogen Dioxide or Sulphur Dioxide.
On the other side of the coin a lack of ventilation in a work space could result in the increase of carbon dioxide and decrease of oxygen having a direct affect on occupants productivity.
We carry out Workplace Indoor Air Quality Testing is carried out in all occupied spaces of a building to test levels of pollutants that may affect occupants. These levels can be compared against World Health Organisation Guidance for Air Quality maximum exposure levels, to ensure the health and wellbeing of employees.

What Pollutants are Measured?
In general when referring to Indoor Air Quality we take into account the following pollutants which are either generated within buildings or introduced from outside air through natural or mechanical ventilation.
- Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5)
- Nitrogen Dioxide
- Sulphur Dioxide
- Ozone
- VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
- Carbon Dioxide
Where specific known substances are used in a process specialised testing methods can be used to test against maximum exposure levels (HSE EH40).
How are Pollutants Measured?
Calibrated testing equipment is used in our Workplace Air Quality Testing Service including particulate monitors, and gas samplers which can be positioned in various positions throughout rooms without interference to daily operations.
Workplace Air Quality Testing is carried out over specific time periods to measure exposure levels to employees, patients and students. Where necessary air quality tests may be run at specified times of day as the air quality can vary throughout a single working day.

Workplace Air Quality Testing Reports will highlight areas which are high or exceed exposure levels and offer guidance on potential solutions (both short term and long term) that can be offered (not all of which cost money!).
