Indoor Air Quality - Facts Two
How can air filtration improve indoor air quality?

Fine duct is known to cause health effects such as eye irritation, lung disease, respiratory problems.

Antimicrobial treatment
Prevents degradation of the air filter media and other filter components caused by major microorganisms caught by the filter.

Change filter at the right time
- Allow system filter resistance
- Manufacture recommended final resistance
- Check filter resistance regularly and maintain a log
- Clean plenum floors with every filter change
- Replace detective filters
- Check gasket to avoid dirty air bypass
- After installation
- Mid-life

Improved indoor air quality thru air filtration maximization
- 70% of contaminants directly responsible for deterioration of I.A.Q
. are airborne particulars
- Dust is the workplace variable affecting the largest number of
. health symptoms and odor concerns
- Air Medics can design individual preventative maintenance
. programs customized to any environment


HOW AIR FILTRATION FOR IMPROVED AIR QUALITY FITS INTO YOUR BUDGET.

Cost for operating a public building per square foot yearly
- Salaries-$265.00
- Occupation-$12.00
- Furnishing & office equipment-$10.00
- Utilities-$5.00
- Heating & air condition-$1.50
- Duct cleaning-$0.50
- Fresh Air-$0.25
- 90% filtration-$0.04

Cost of poor indoor air quality per square foot yearly
- Loss in productivity
- 18% of $265 = $47.70 / sq.ft/ yearly
- Duct cleaning-every 5 years
- $0.50 /sq.ft/ 5 year = $0.10/ sq.ft/ yearly
Combined duct cleaning & loss in productivity assuming
- 5% loss in productivity: Duct Cleaning $$0.10 + loss in
. productivity $13.25


What factors affect air quality generally described?
Noise, light, ergonomics, ventilation, temperature, humidity and air Containment
