Air is vital to life, however the quality is often overlooked in the quest for retaining optimum environmental health in our surrounds.
Adequate air exchange rates keep CO2 levels in check, which prevents fatigue and sleepiness especially within a workplace or home study environment. Air that is being exhanged should be clean and as free of pollutants as possible. Environomics can show you how to manage your room air and air conditioning units to keep harmful microbes minimised.
Air has the property of holding particulates within it, and particulates may come in a toxic (pollutant) or non-toxic form and in varying sizes ranging from the unseen to those that can be seen with the naked eye.
Shown in this photo, is ice that has air particulates frozen within it. The toxicity can be seen in the "dirty" ice. The blue colour is created by the compression of snow with air particles trapped inside.
Within air, you will also find negative and positive air ions. These are found in varying sizes and are charged gaseous molecules. Nearly all positive ions are formed from radioactivity, negative is formed from radioactivity and evaporating water.
The humidity level of an indoor space should be kept at a level that does not promote the growth of moulds or dust mites; a very important factor for overall health and wellbeing.
