Maintaining IAQ Is Just as Important as Maintaining Health

Why is it necessary to maintain indoor air quality?

Indoor air quality is often overlooked, even though we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors—whether at home, at work, or in public places. Maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for maintaining health, comfort, and productivity. Here are some reasons why maintaining indoor air quality should be a priority:

1. Prevent Health Problems, Indoor air can contain various pollutants such as dust, cigarette smoke, mold, pet dander, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and bacteria and viruses. Continuous exposure can cause:

  • Allergies and asthma
  • Eye, nose, and throat irritation
  • Headaches and fatigue
  • Chronic respiratory disease

2. Improves Concentration and Productivity, Clean, oxygen-rich air helps the brain function optimally. Rooms with good air circulation and low carbon dioxide levels have been shown to improve focus, work performance, and sleep quality.

3. Prevents the Growth of Mold and Bacteria, High humidity and poor ventilation can encourage the growth of mold and microorganisms. This not only damages the building's structure but also endangers the health of its occupants.

4. Maintain Mental Health, Fresh air is closely linked to a good mood. Good air circulation and natural scents (such as from plants or essential oils) can have a calming effect and reduce stress.

5. Reducing the Risk of Disease Spread, In enclosed spaces, viruses and bacteria can spread more quickly, especially if ventilation is poor. A good ventilation system and air filters can help reduce the spread of airborne infectious diseases.

How to Keep Indoor Air Clean and Healthy

1. Clean the Room Regularly, Dust and dirt are the main causes of indoor air pollution. Clean furniture, floors, and electronic equipment regularly, especially in frequently used areas.

2. Ensure Good Ventilation, Good air circulation is essential. Open windows regularly to let in fresh air and remove stale air. If the room doesn't have windows, consider using an exhaust fan or mechanical ventilation system.

3. Use Air-Filtering Houseplants, Some houseplants not only beautify a room but also filter toxins from the air. For example:

  • Snake plant (Sansevieria)
  • Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
  • Peace lily

4. Avoid Excessive Use of Chemical Products, Household cleaners, air fresheners, and wall paints often contain chemicals that can pollute the air. Use products labeled "eco-friendly" or opt for natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.

5. Use an Air Purifier, If you live in an area with high levels of pollution or have family members with respiratory problems, using an air purifier is highly recommended. Choose one with a HEPA filter to effectively filter out fine particles and allergens.

6. Maintain Air Humidity, Excessive humidity can lead to mold and dust mite growth. Conversely, air that is too dry can irritate the respiratory tract. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed, and maintain room humidity between 40–60%.

7. Avoid Smoking Indoors, Cigarette smoke contains thousands of harmful chemicals and is highly polluting. To maintain indoor air quality, smoke outdoors and away from windows or vents.

8. Regularly Clean and Maintain Your AC, A dirty AC filter can become a breeding ground for dust and bacteria. Clean the filter regularly (at least once a month) and have your AC serviced regularly to keep the ventilation system optimal.
