How to get rid of Volatile Organic Compounds?

 AIR QUALITY

Air quality is one of the most alarming factor in the current time. The rise of air pollution has decreased the air quality giving rise to a bigger consequence of climate change. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. The Air Quality Index is based on measurement of particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀), Ozone (O₃), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂), Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions. 

The pollution levels in this indoor air can be up to 5 times higher than outdoor levels (in many cases up to 100 times higher), and people spend more than 90% of their time indoors! Additionally, poor IAQ ranks as one of the top five environmental risks to public health, but is often overlooked by key decision makers.

The Air Inside Your Building Can Contain:

• Mold, spores, pollens 
• Carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Bacteria, viruses and by products
• Vehicle engine exhaust, exhaust from industrial plants
• Asbestos, clays, elemental particles and man-made fibres

Benefits of Air filter audit:

1. Analysis of your current state by a team of industry experts
2. Professional guidance and analysis to reduce your energy spend, decrease your risk, and save you time
3. Valuable and detailed benchmark data
4. Life cycle cost report that will show you where your HVAC systems could be performing even better
5. A standardized list of filters by air handler unit (AHU) and application.

AAF Provides solution to improve indoor air quality:

• ·   AAF provides complete filter analysis – air filtration audit. A thorough air filter audit of your HVAC systems is the first step that AAF takes, in order to provide you with HVAC energy analysis for cost savings. In this way we identify how your filtration system can optimally perform.
• ·     Total cost of ownership is made clear – TCO Diagnostics. Targeted to your HVAC total cost of ownership, TCO Diagnostic provides clear insight to find the best filtration options and tailor to your specific needs for a comprehensive clean air solution – improving air quality, energy savings, and operational flexibility while reducing your life cycle costs.
• ·    AAFs' $5.4 million, 33,000 square foot Clean Air Innovation & Research Centre (Clean AIR Centre) in Jeffersonville, Indiana represents a significant advancement in research and development efforts for both AAF and the global air filtration industry.

Industry Application:

• ·       Microelectronics – Air Filtration Reduces Airborne Molecular Contamination Risk for Microelectronics Production. Dust and other microparticles can lead to damaged and rejected inventory, contaminate processes and short circuit the microprocessors, chips and wafers. HEPA filters, dual filtration system and high efficiency media, are all recommended in constructing the clean environment facility. Pre-filters and secondary filters can help eliminate airborne particulates as well as the noxious odors that are given off by the used chemicals.
• ·         Commercial Buildings – In commercial office buildings, Air Quality  is a primary concern. Poor indoor air quality ranks as one of the top five environmental risks to public health. Air filtration systems in commercial facilities must handle relatively large volumes of air. Approximately 50% of a building’s energy consumption goes to the heating, cooling, and moving of air. Proper filter selection and maintenance is essential to keeping HVAC systems operating effectively and efficiently.
• ·         Healthcare – Clean air is vital in hospital and healthcare facility operations to protect patients, staff, and visitors from airborne diseases and infections, as well as to provide a comfortable, healthy, and odour-free environment. A thorough air filter audit of the HVAC Systems is the first step that AAF takes, in order to provide our clients with professional guidance and analysis for cost savings and liability reduction. By conducting this audit, we strive to understand client’s current state and their complete air filtration needs, applications, and goals for total air quality.
• ·         Schools and Universities – Students spend more than 1,300 hours in a school building each year and need to be protected. Poor air quality in schools and universities has been linked with problems in concentration, increased asthma, and generally lowered health and academic success. Insuring clean air is vital not only to children’s growth and wellbeing, but their future as well. Properly functioning filtration systems clean the air of dirt, dust, pollen, dander, fibers, control odors and reduce the pollutants that cause most IAQ problems inside school buildings. In addition to improving occupant health and performance, regular HVAC maintenance also saves energy.
• ·         Pharmaceuticals – Within the pharmaceutical industry, strict requirements set forth by the FDA on air purity levels are necessary because of the direct effect that airborne contamination has on the quality of the pharmaceutical products that are in contact with the wide population. Anything that could come into direct contact with a pharmaceutical product is a potential risk toward contamination. No clean air is possible without a carefully selected and reliably functioning air filtration system. The performance of installed air filters, whether terminal filters or pre-filters, directly determines how effectively harmful contaminants are prevented from entering the airstream in process environments.
