How improving indoor air quality is good for business
Improving indoor air quality can have an immediate, positive and tangible impact on workplace health and wellbeing and performance. In fact, studies show that reducing dust in the workplace together with minimising volatile organic compounds can raise office worker productivity by 0.5 to 5 percent, generating estimated savings of $20 to $200 billion.
Breathing clean air is vital to human health
When we think about air quality, we tend to imagine city smog, heavy industry or streets polluted with car exhaust fumes. But indoor air quality is just as important, if not more so, because we spend 90% of our time inside.
Breathing clean air is a fundamental human right. Yet air pollution—including indoor air pollution —is a growing risk to people’s health, causing 6.5m deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
A breath of fresh air in the workplace
Businesses have a responsibility to create a healthy, creative working environment for their employees. And with 45% of Europe’s office workers feeling disengaged with their work, there is no time to lose.
Carpets are a popular choice as they help to absorb sound, improve indoor air quality in the office and create a welcoming environment. In fact, there is often less particulate matter (or fine dust) in carpeted rooms.
