Introducing our revolutionary air quality monitors.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a vital part of maintaining a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. On average you spend 90% of your time indoors, so the quality of the air you’re breathing is an important determinant of your overall health.

Poor indoor air quality can have health effects ranging from fatigue to lung cancer.
Furthermore, a building’s energy efficiency and longevity are closely tied to the quality of the air inside. An efficient ventilation system improves air quality, comfort, and saves you money, particularly if you opt for an MVHR system. Secondly, a building’s integrity can be affected by poor IAQ as damp and mould can cause structural damage.
To summarise the main causes of poor IAQ:
Radon gas - a naturally occurring radioactive gas originating from rocks and soil, seeping into your house through cracks in walls, floors and foundations. It is the biggest cause of lung cancer amongst non-smokers. It often goes undetected due to its invisible odourless nature.
CO2 - a byproduct of respiration that can cause tiredness, fatigue, impair cognitive function and indicate a higher virus transmission risk.
Airborne chemicals (VOCs) - caused by furniture, cleaning products, and burning candles to name a few. VOCs irritate your eyes, nose and throat, and can damage the nervous system and organs. Some VOCs are carcinogenic. Particulate matter - microscopic particles caused by exhaust fumes, building sites and burning wood. It can cause lung and heart conditions. Mould spores - from excess moisture. Mould spores can cause allergic reactions and affect your breathing. It can severely affect those with weakened immune systems. Humidity - caused by water vapour in the atmosphere. It can lead to structural damage from mould and damp. By opting for an indoor air quality monitor, you can find out what's in the air you breathe and find the best solution for your environment.
