Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Indoor air quality in airport in Malaysia
Over the last several years, Indoor air quality in airport has become a global health concern as increasing amounts of outdoor air emissions begin to contaminate the air within buildings. Hence, it is important for building owners or managers to learn how small air quality will impact your overall health since what you do not know could result in potential health problems. A single or continuous exposure to contaminants present in the air could cause health problems, even serious infectious diseases. Pollutants are only detectable when indoor air quality assessments take place.

You may notice some of the more common side effects of indoor air pollution, like an unpleasant odor, but many others go undetected because germs and pathogens do not show symptoms immediately which later causes greater harms to health. This is when our Indoor Air Quality Testing and Analysis will evaluate and interpret the condition of your Indoor Air Quality and finally recommend the next course of action. Our analysis/assessment and our recommendations of the indoor air and next course of action is based on Industry Code of Practice on Indoor Air Quality 2010 by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health.
