Workers within factories and warehouses are exposed to substantial amounts of chemicals and pollutants, making air quality a critical safety issue for anyone working in these environments. Air quality in industrial manufacturing plants has an immense impact on a person’s health, and therefore, their ability to work.

How does the poor indoor air quality affect your business?

Although air pollutants are invisible, they can have a serious impact on our health. Air pollutants can cause respiratory diseases and even cancer, along with other health effects, causing sick-leaves. The cost of one sick-leave day can cost even hundreds of euros for an employer. The indirect effect of it is a poor employer image, that makes it difficult to recruit qualified personnel. According to this, it is very important to monitor the indoor air quality in warehouses and manufacturing plants. Air quality measures particulate matter (PM) and CO2, along with other environmental factors such as VOCs, ambient temperature, humidity, pressure, and ambient light. 

Indoor air quality monitors

The data collected from air quality monitoring would primarily help us identify polluted areas, the level of pollution and air quality level. 

Smart Sensor Devices are providing the indoor air quality monitors called HibouAir. Quick & easy set up. No need for a Wi-Fi, gateway or cloud. Access air quality measurement history in the HibouAir analytics app, and gain insight to live a healthy life for you and your employees everyday.

This air quality monitor provides CO2 or PM and volatile organic compounds (VOC) and also the other parameters such as humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure & light level that affect the ambient environment around us.

The quality of indoor air inside offices, schools, and other workplaces is important not only for workers’ comfort but also for their health. Poor indoor air quality has been tied to symptoms like headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Also, some specific diseases have been linked to specific air contaminants or indoor environments, like asthma with damp indoor environments. In addition, some exposures, such as asbestos and radon, do not cause immediate symptoms but can lead to cancer after many years.

Many factors affect indoor air quality. These factors include poor ventilation, problems controlling temperature, high or low humidity, recent remodeling, and other activities in or near a building that can affect the fresh air coming into the building. Sometimes, specific contaminants like dust from construction or renovation, mold, cleaning supplies, pesticides, or other airborne chemicals (including small amounts of chemicals released as a gas over time) may cause poor air quality. Most of the people are spending the time indoors so It is good to monitor and measure air conditioning regularly indoors.

Indoor air quality monitoring with devices

An air quality monitor can help us to know about the environment around us, so that we can take actions accordingly.

Smart Sensor Devices providing air quality monitoring devices called the  HibouAir. It is specially designed for indoor air quality monitoring with a simple setup that provides real-time indoor air quality data.

HibouAir provides the concentration of different elements in the air such as CO2, PM and volatile organic compounds (VOC) but also the other parameters such as humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure & light level that affect the ambient environment around us.

We can find ways to solve complicated things with our devices and we can protect ourselves from the polluted environment and health problems.

According to Harvard T.H’s study the emerging evidence that air pollution has an impact on our health. The findings show that increases in PM2.5 levels were associated with acute reductions in cognitive function. We’ve seen these short-term effects among younger adults, said Jose Guillermo Cedenö Laurent, a research fellow in the  Department of Environmental Health and lead author of the study. “The study also confirmed how low ventilation rates negatively impact cognitive function. Overall, the study suggests that poor indoor air quality affects health.”

A growing body of research has shown that indoor air pollution diminishes cognitive function. While it is well known that air pollutants such as PM2.5 can penetrate indoor environments, few studies have focused on how indoor exposures to PM2.5.

The way to know indoor air quality

There are many infectious can transmission indoors. To better understand the air quality the Smart Sensor Devices are providing air quality monitoring devices which can check the level of air quality, CO2 and temperature. By using our devices you can measure a number of parameters such as humidity, temperature, volatile organic compounds, CO2 or fine particles PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10. The environmental sensors detected levels of CO2 that fell below or exceeded certain thresholds.

How the air quality monitors works

These air quality monitors take a sample of the air in environments to provide certainty about the ppm values ​​of carbon dioxide and other particles found in them. Air quality monitors allow us to understand exactly if the indoor environment is safe or not.

HibouAir is an air quality monitor specially designed for indoor air quality monitoring. HibouAir Desktop Solution comes with an easy set-up. No need for wifi, gateway or cloud connectivity. It works in desktop and mobile applications are simple and effective. The app presents information in a logical way, with a clear display of air quality. It displays the current indoor air quality data and shows reading with graphs for the past 7 days.
