In extreme circumstances these gases can causes serious problems. When humans breathe, they produce carbon dioxide naturally. This gas can reach harmful levels if several people are sharing a single room that lacks proper ventilation.
High levels of carbon dioxide can lead to nausea, dizziness, headaches and more. Office workers who spend an extended amount of time in enclosed buildings frequently report these kinds of symptoms. This phenomenon is known as sick building syndrome, and one of its risk factors is known to be poor air quality.
Symptoms often become worse with poor air quality; particularly in people who suffer from allergies and respiratory conditions like asthma. Other sources that contribute to poor air quality are cigarette smoke, dust and pollen carried in from the outdoors.
Indoor Air Pollution from Volatile
Organic Compounds
Another
common source of indoor air pollution are volatile organic
compounds (VOC sensors), which are highly volatile substances. VOC’s
sources in work and home environments include paint and varnishes, cosmetics,
cleaning products, sofas, mattresses, carpets, newspapers and photocopiers.VOCs emit an unpleasant smell, and contain several harmful compounds including chloride, benzene, acetone and formaldehyde. These compounds can cause irritation to the throat, nose and eyes, and can result in nausea and headaches. People with respiratory problems are more susceptible to these compounds.
Improving Air Quality with an Air
Purifier
For
people working or living in a building with poor VOCs.
Ultraviolet light - Microorganisms
are destroyed by UV light, which acts as a sterilizer. These pathogens include
airborne viruses that can cause flu and other kinds of diseases.
Activated carbon - These filters use
porous carbon, which has a large surface area for particle absorption. As a
result, VOCs are effectively removed.
