Monsoon Must-Haves To Improve the Indoor Air Quality

After the blazing heat of summer, everyone rejoices during the first rain of the monsoon season. While people are delighted with the rainy season at first, it also brings bacteria and diseases with it. During this season, there is a spike in bacterial growth in the surrounding area, posing high risks of infection and illness.

According to experts, the risk of catching a bacterial or viral infection increases twice as much as in any other season. But how does this happen? It’s because the high moisture content in the air, coupled with limited sunlight which allows harmful germs to grow,  resulting in various diseases.

How does the rainy season adversely affect indoor air quality?

The moisture in the atmosphere during the monsoon season allows surfaces to fall below the ambient temperature, causing condensation and dampness, which can start the biological deterioration of materials and furnishings. It can eventually contaminate indoor air as well. As a result, dampness is a reason behind increased chronic asthma and other respiratory conditions like coughing, and wheezing during the monsoon.

Indoor air quality frequently deteriorates as a result of inadequate air circulation. According to a WebMD research, indoor air quality is twice as bad as outdoor air. As we spend more than 90% of our time indoors and are exposed constantly to poor air quality, it increases the danger to our health. Over the years, we have become more susceptible to respiratory or cardiovascular problems.

Monsoon must-haves to improve indoor air quality

We all depend on the air around us to keep our lungs healthy and safe. Indoor air pollution can also have immediate or long-term health consequences. The acute effects of poor indoor air quality may be felt immediately or after repeated exposure to contaminants. These may consist of: irritation of the nose, throat, eyes, dizziness or headache, fatigue, etc.

Cleaning and vacuuming offices does not remove microorganisms from the surrounding air and surfaces. 

Commercial offices should have an effective air purification system to keep  employees and customers safe and healthy.

This rainy season, protect your office with air purifying  technology   to  reduce indoor air pollution. HVAC systems which incorporate UVC air disinfection preserve indoor air quality, and  eradicate unseen bacterial, viral, and fungal germs.

Here’s how to fortify your indoor spaces this monsoon

UVGI air purifiers for HVAC systems

HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) are essential for maintaining proper ventilation and air quality. It’s highly possible that the coils, filters, and ducts collect pollutants and disperse them within the surrounding area. So, to avoid this, UVGI for HVAC systems becomes the ultimate solution for a pure and clean environment. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation, or UVGI air purifiers, is a cutting-edge method that employs UVC air disinfection techniques to kill and inactivate bacteria, viruses, and mould spores in the air as well as on surfaces. It is extremely useful in the monsoon season.
