Indoor Air Quality at Work

Three Ways to Reduce Indoor Air Pollution in Your Workplace

Indoor air pollution isn’t just a problem in your home; it also affects your workplace. According to the EPA, indoor air quality is two to five times greater than outside air. There are numerous factors that contribute to indoor air pollution. Different sources release gases and particles that can cause a myriad of health issues such as asthma attacks and allergies. Here are seven ways to reduce indoor air pollution in your workplace.

  1. Keep It Clean

The biggest contributors to indoor air pollution are dust mites, pollen, and outside debris. Get your office building cleaned at least once a week by a reputable cleaning service. If you can’t afford a full cleaning, at least get the carpets and floor cleaned a few times a week. The high traffic areas need the most attention as these carry the most debris. Have the cleaning staff check the air filters to ensure there is proper ventilation flowing through the building.

  1. Beware the Air

Stay away from air fresheners in your workplace. Studies show that standard air fresheners can emit up to 20 different toxins when sprayed. Find alternatives like all natural air fresheners with essential oils or placing potpourri in bathrooms.

  1. Breathe Easier

Having plants in your building is an effective way of cleansing pollutants from the air. Two beneficial ones that are easy to acquire in Florida are Palms and Ferns. Plants work together from root to leaf and absorb the chemical pollutants emitting from various sources. Don’t overwater them, though, as this can lead to increased humidity in the air.

The most important thing is to get your place of business cleaned regularly. It will cut down on the amount of pollution in the air and ensure the health of your staff. By having your office cleaned often, you are cutting down on the amount of allergy attacks or other sickness that could result from an unclean working environment.
