Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality with Alstasan Silvox

The present world is dealing with some of the major issues, air pollution being one of them. Life without air is impossible. If correctly written, life without fresh air is impossible. But according to some global reports, the quality of fresh air is degrading day by day specially in cities.

AQI or Air Quality Index is used by government agencies to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is or forecasted to become. Public health risks increase as the AQI rises. The objective of an AQI is to quickly disseminate air quality information (almost in real-time) that entails the system to account for pollutants which have short-term impacts.

Eight parameters (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, Pb) having shortterm standards have been considered for near real-time dissemination of AQI.

There are relatively many awareness programs about the hazardous consequences of outdoor air pollution compared to indoors but it is observed that most number of people residing in cities pass 3/4th of their time indoors.

Indoors in the sense – offices, schools, malls, etc., meaning they are confined to the quality of air present indoors, and needless to say affects the health of those who are inhaling adversely.

Indoor Air Quality refers to the constituents of surrounding air of an apartment, building, residential environment or any bounded atmosphere.

• Headache • Dizziness • ENT Irritation • Suffocation Few of the simple health effects to begin with.

These effects may not be diagnosed early but continuous exposure can lead to fatal consequences, necessitating the importance of Indoor Air Quality, even if there is no pre-sign of any dangerous diseases.

It is not necessary that every pollutant is fatal, it depends upon the exposure, duration and the amount in which they are inhaled.

Steps to enhance the Indoor Air Quality are •

Identification

•

Elimination

Same in case for indoor air quality, identify the pollutants and eliminate them. The techniques that can be practiced are: •

Keep surroundings and indoors clean by regular dusting, vacuuming, etc.

•

Changing of air filter of coolers and heaters, regular dusting of ceiling fans

•

Use of air fumigants

The first two are tried and tested methods, but do not disinfect the air up to the mark.

It has been observed that air fumigation is the best way to treat indoor air and is the most effective way against most pathogenic microorganisms.

Indoor Air Fumigation Indoor Air Fumigation is a mechanism of controlling indoor air pollution carried out in enclosed areas through chemical release or spray in order to kill pathogens microorganisms and contaminants. The whole fumigation process is carried out by releasing or spraying the fumigant solution in the targeted area.

The enclosed space is kept undisturbed for a short period of time. In that time, the fumigant infiltrates in the closed spaces, traps all contaminants, eliminating them. Then the space is opened and all the toxic pollutants are ventilated making the area pollution free to a maximum extent.

Already mandatory in hospitals, pharmaceuticals and other institutes, many residential complexes and room facilities are today opting for air fumigation as this process disabling the activity of microbial agents.

Hydrogen Peroxide with Silver has been found to be effective in various applications like food processing, dairy, agriculture, hospitals, poultry, air conditioning and pipelines for disinfection and sanitation. It can also be used as fumigant and eradicate contaminants from air within enclosed entities.

Hydrogen Peroxide rapidly disintegrates into hydrogen and water without forming any toxic by-products, enabling an increase in oxygen molecules. The disinfecting property of hydrogen peroxide depends on these free oxygen radicals that help disintegrate the pollutants leaving water as residues, through oxidation. The popularity of hydrogen peroxide as a disinfectant is because of its solubility in water and also it doses not produce any toxic gases.

FDA has already approved the usage Hydrogen Peroxide for air fumigation.
