In most corporate workplaces, employees spend a significant amount of time indoors, where poor indoor air quality can negatively affect health and productivity.
Allergens
Dust mites, mould spores, and pollen.
Harmful Chemicals
VOCs from cleaning products, furniture, and office equipment.
Odours
Stagnant air and chemical smells.
Pathogens
Viruses and bacteria that spread illnesses.
Untreated poor indoor air quality can result in sick building syndrome, a condition where office workers experience symptoms like headaches and respiratory issues due to prolonged exposure to unhealthy air.
Unfiltered air in an office environment can trigger the following symptoms
Respiratory issues
Exposure to allergens like dust mites, mould spores, and particulate matter can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughing, wheezing, and exacerbation of asthma symptoms.
Increased allergies
Pollutants such as outdoor pollen and VOCs from office furniture or cleaning products can trigger allergic reactions, causing discomfort and reduced focus.
Fatigue and discomfort
Poor air quality, particularly from nitrogen dioxide or carbon monoxide emissions, can decrease oxygen levels in the office, leading to feelings of lethargy and reduced productivity.
Spread of illnesses
Limited fresh air and inadequate air circulation can allow airborne pathogens to spread more easily, increasing the risk of colds, flu, and other contagious illnesses.
Long-term health effects
Chronic exposure to indoor air pollution, including VOCs and particulate matter, may increase the risk of more severe conditions such as cardiovascular disease and long-term respiratory ailments.
Higher absenteeism
The cumulative health effects of poor air quality can lead to increased sick days, lowering team efficiency and productivity.

Enhancing indoor air quality is crucial for maintaining good health, especially since many people spend the majority of their time indoors. Consider these tips for creating cleaner, healthier air at home or work:
Control sources of indoor air pollution
Common and significant sources of indoor pollutants include
- Cigarette smoke
- Chemical odours from glues, cleaners, etc.
- Animal fur or dander
- Dust
- Outdoor pollutants
Source control refers to the elimination of these pollutants through a variety of different means including pest control, the restriction of smoking indoors, using natural cleaning products, and more.
Ventilate your office regularly
Inadequate ventilation allows air pollutants to accumulate in the air. Eventually, inhabitants will inhale these pollutants that could potentially cause illnesses.
proper ventilation is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality. This can be done by:
- Opening up windows and doors
- Using exhaust fans
- Maintaining HVAC systems
- Installing trickle vents
- Using a whole space ventilation system
Invest in air purifiers
While air purifiers are effective at enhancing indoor air quality, they are not standalone solutions. To achieve the best results, they should be used alongside other measures such as ensuring proper ventilation, controlling pollution sources, and maintaining a consistent cleaning routine.
Selecting an air purifier suited to your specific needs and regularly replacing its filters is essential to maintain optimal performance and effectiveness.

Maintain a healthy level of indoor humidity
Maintaining indoor humidity between 30% and 50% is vital for indoor air quality and comfort. Excessive humidity fosters mould growth and can cause respiratory issues, heat exhaustion, and discomfort.
Conversely, low humidity may lead to dry skin, throat irritation, aggravated allergies, and static electricity. Balanced humidity supports a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment and prevents these adverse effects.
