can also influence indoor air quality.
The more people move through a space,
the higher the indoor carbon dioxide levels tend to be.
Cooking, in particular, can release nitrogen dioxide
and fine dust, which significantly affect indoor air quality levels.
-
Fine Dust 01Fine Dust 01
- Dust particles of 10 micrometers (µm) or less that are invisible to the naked eye.
- Can impair lung function and weaken the immune system.
-
Formaldehyde(HCHO) 02Formaldehyde(HCHO) 02
- Commonly found in materials used in buildings.
- Can cause eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation; coughing; diarrhea; dizziness; and nausea.
-
Carbon Dioxide(CO₂) 03Carbon Dioxide(CO₂) 03
- Produced when living organisms breathe or ferment and makes up about 0.04% of dry air.
- Non-toxic, but high exposure can lead to headaches, dizziness, and even death.
-
Radon(RN) 04Radon(RN) 04
- A radioactive gas found in soil and groundwater.
Known to cause lung cancer as an indoor air pollutant.
- A radioactive gas found in soil and groundwater.
-
Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) 05Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) 05
- Commonly found in pesticides and construction/cleaning materials. (Toluene, Benzene, Etylbenzene)
- Can cause breathing issues, headaches, vomiting, or blood disorders if inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
