Detect and Prevent Sick Building Syndrome With World’s Most Comprehensive Air Sensor

by admin

As the new year begins, employers are ready to restart operations, with employers reporting to the workplace. Employers must make extraordinary efforts to ensure that their employees who enter your premises are in a healthy and safe environment. The issue of good indoor air quality and ventilation system maintenance has grown even more pressing in light of scientific evidence that the COVID-19 virus can transmit through the air.

While we are all conscious of outdoor air pollution’s risks, many people are unaware that indoor air can be dirtier and more hazardous. The primary goal was to halt the spread of COVID-19, but along the process, we discovered new correlations between building conditions and illnesses in general. Experts have warned of potential health dangers from indoor air pollution if necessary precautions are not taken.

SICK BUILDING SYNDROME

People who inhabit a room or building may become ill if the air quality deteriorates. Individuals who begin to experience severe health problems after spending time in a building might be experiencing the effects of sick building syndrome. Due to the wide range of symptoms that mimic diseases such as the common cold—headache, sore throat, itchy eyes, dizziness, and a runny nose—SBS can be difficult to diagnose.

Symptoms of sick building syndrome (SBS) often worsen the longer you stay in a building and improve once you leave. If employers begin to notice that other employees are exhibiting the same symptoms at work, the employees might be suffering from sick building syndrome.

COVID-19 AND THE RELATION TO SICK BUILDING SYNDROME

The COVID-19 outbreak has exacerbated the sick building symptoms. In reaction to COVID-19, the use of sanitisers and disinfectants has skyrocketed in both households and offices. These products benefit virus elimination, but most cleaning products harm indoor air quality. The chemicals from these products can pose significant health concerns, particularly to individuals exposed to these products regularly.

THE SOLUTION TO THIS…
In addition to industrial emissions, car emissions, household chemicals, constructions, and demolitions are just a few elements that contribute to air pollution. As a result of their activities, we are exposed to air pollution both indoors and outdoors, which can have a variety of health repercussions, including the spread of viral load within building spaces. How do we determine the air quality and pollution levels in our neighbourhood? What is the solution to this ongoing problem?

The answer to these questions is ENVIRO INTELiAQ!

Mould Removal: What Is The Best Way To Get Rid Of Mould?

by admin

Our previous post discussed how mould infestations could pose dangers to your health conditions and the symptoms that your house may have mould. If you spot moulds growing on the walls of your houses, you must act quickly to prevent them from spreading. It can cause health difficulties and structural issues with your property.

Moulds can spread throughout a property in 48 hours, causing allergies and irritants that risk public health. Inhaling and handling mould spores can trigger allergic reactions in people prone to asthma and hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose.

FACTORS OF MOULD GROWTH

Mould growth is influenced by several factors, including:
  • High relative humidity (RH) within building space
  • Invasion of rainwater to the internal building environment
  • Temperature differential within the building environment
  • Fresh air intake issue into the AHU System
  • Low air movement within the building environment

CAN YOU REMOVE IT YOURSELF?

Although there is a wealth of online information regarding DIY mould removal techniques, attempting to remove it on your own is incredibly dangerous. Eliminating mould on your own may exacerbate the problem and endanger your family if done incorrectly. If you notice musty odours, dark stains on your walls, floors, or ceilings, or if your respiratory symptoms worsen, you may have moulds in your house. A professional team’s knowledge and experience are required for the effective and safe eradication of these moulds.

Professional mould specialists will employ advanced methods for correctly removing moulds and detecting any underlying risks that you may be unaware of the existence.

 

CALL FOR PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE

There are several reasons why you should seek expert assistance rather than attempting to resolve the problem on your own. If you try to remove the mould yourself, you may aggravate the situation. Mold spores become airborne when disturbed and can settle everywhere. After cleaning sessions, you may have spread it around as it begins to grow in places where it has never grown before.

Furthermore, you might miss an area when removing moulds on your own. You can get rid of the apparent moulds to the bare eyes, but moulds can hide in inconspicuous places like air vents. While you may be able to remove noticeable mould growth, you may also miss critical areas that require professional treatment for a thorough repair.

So, look no further as ENVIRO Group is here to assist you in eradicating mould growth in your house!

What You Need To Know About Mould

by admin

WHAT IS MOULD?

Moulds are microscopic organisms that aid in decomposing plant and animal components. Mould comes in various shapes and sizes, and its appearance varies based on the type of mould and the climate in which it grows. Moulds are ubiquitous in both buildings and homes. It frequently appears as a black, green, or white stain or discolouration.

COMMON TYPES OF MOULD

The most common indoor moulds are Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as the black mould. These moulds usually fall under three categories: allergenic, pathogenic, and toxigenic.

Allergenic moulds are not dangerous but they can cause allergic reactions like asthma. Pathogenic moulds can aggravate these illnesses in persons whose health conditions are already debilitated. Toxigenic moulds are the most deadly since they produce toxins, which can cause serious health problems and even death.

Mould building Malaysia

WHERE CAN YOU FIND MOULD?

Mould growth is a critical concern in Malaysia, which is warm and has high humidity levels. Chances are, your residential structures have this problem as well, but to what extent? Mould will form in places with a lot of moisture, such as bathrooms, basements, pipes, or flood-damaged areas. Mould thrives on paper, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wood items.

 

HOW TOXIC CAN MOULD BE?

In actuality, the vast majority of people are unaffected by a specific mould. However, certain moulds are more dangerous than others. Mould exposure can cause upper respiratory tract symptoms, wheezing, asthma symptoms, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis in immune-mediated patients. Mould can create serious medical problems in a small percentage of persons who already have underlying conditions.

Authorities have advised us to stay inside as the Omicron variant spreads and infects people more rapidly, but what happens when threats lurk within our own homes?

SIGNS THAT THERE MIGHT BE MOULD IN YOUR HOUSE

  • YOU HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A COLD THAT WON’T GO AWAY

Mould exposure can cause symptoms as mild as a continuously runny nose and sneezing bursts. That persistent cold you can’t seem to shake could be a warning sign of a mould problem.

  • YOUR HOUSE HAS A MUSTY SMELL

Regardless of whether the mould is visible or not, it will exude a foul odour. That musty, unpleasant odour is a sure sign of mould growth—the more powerful the odour, the more serious the mould infestation.

  • YOUR SKIN IS ITCHY, CONSTANTLY

Mould is fully capable of infesting wet garments as well. This growth could irritate your skin if you frequently leave your wet towel or clothes without drying them. To avoid this, make sure to dry wet items as quickly as possible and don’t leave damp towels in the bathroom.

  • YOUR ASTHMA UNEXPECTEDLY DETERIORATED

Mould and mildew could exacerbate your asthma symptoms with mould in the house. If you find your asthma symptoms worsen after a long period at home, mould could be the culprit.

  • YOUR ALLERGY FLARES UP

Mould can cause allergic reactions in people, including itchy and watery eyes, coughing, and nasal congestion. If your allergies flare up more often, you might have mould problems in the house.

  • YOUR PAINT IS BUBBLING AND PEELING

One of the most prevalent causes of the paint on your walls bubbling and peeling is moisture. Mould is usually always present where there is moisture.

  • DISCOLOURATION AND DAMPNESS IN CARPETS

Carpets are especially susceptible to providing a perfect environment for mould in the home. If your carpets show any spots, odours, or stains, it could be a sign of mould growth.

Mould spores are ubiquitous in indoor environments, yet most humans are unaffected. If mould spores are present in the environment, those with a compromised immune system are more likely to get sick, especially lung problems. Others may experience allergic responses. Mycotoxins can cause various heart, immune, and neurological issues. Even if your health is untouched, mould may wreak havoc on the structure of your home. Keep an eye out for our upcoming post on how to safely remove mould from your house.

Which Face Mask is The Best To Protect Yourself Against The Omicron Variant?

by admin
The Omicron variant first surfaced in late November of this year in South Africa, but it has since spread rapidly throughout the world, including Malaysia. Since then, Malaysia has recorded 64 cases of the Omicron variant. While preliminary research suggests that this strain has milder symptoms and a lower likelihood of hospitalisation than Delta, it is 4.2 times more infectious, making it just as dangerous. According to experts, improving face mask fit and filtration is important to reducing the spread of the highly virulent Omicron strain. Poor fit may compromise a mask’s ability to filter out harmful particles such as virus particles. There are many different types of face masks on the market, but which one provides the most protection in the age of the COVID-19 outbreak? While wearing any mask is preferable to not wearing one, we must go above and beyond to strengthen our defences against the COVID-19 virus.

COMPARISONS BETWEEN FACE MASKS

Cloth masks are becoming more popular because they are more comfortable and visually attractive; however, can they provide effective protection against the Omicron variant? Even when Alpha and Delta variants first appeared, health professionals do not recommend wearing fabric masks; instead, disposable masks such as surgical masks, KN95, KF94, and N95 masks are the best options.

N95 FACE MASK

  • Filter out 95 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns
  • Fluid resistant to large droplets and has a higher filtering efficacy in blocking smaller particulate materials
  • Used by healthcare workers in the high-risk environment
  • Tight-fitting

KF94 MASK

  • Filter out 94 percent of particles down to 0.3 microns in size
  • Fluid resistant to large droplets and higher filtration efficacy to block smaller particulate matters
  • Anyone in the low-to-moderate risk environment can use it
  • Customisable fitting

SURGICAL MASK

  • The primary function is to shield others from the wearer’s breathing droplets.
  • Filter out 60 percent of smaller particles
  • Anyone in the low-to-moderate risk environment can use it
  • Loose-fitting

CLOTH MASK

  • Provides some barrier protection against large respiratory droplets emitted by others
  • Filter out 10 – 30 percent of small particles
  • Loose-fitting
Based on these comparisons above, N95 provides the best protection for filtering small particles. However, authorities reserve the N95 masks for healthcare workers handling COVID-19 patients daily in high-risk environments. The ideal face mask to use in low-to-moderate risk situations is KF94 (Korean Filter) mask. Avoid wearing fabric masks since they will not give enough protection  from the Omicron variant.
Enviro Group Asia will release its KF95 masks, one of the best face masks on the market, as part of our ongoing commitment to protecting Malaysians. KF95 masks are individually packaged to keep them hygienic and clean until you’re ready to use them. Our KF95 masks have the following characteristics:
  • 5-ply layers, providing greater protection
  • Well-fitted mask
  • 99% VFE filtration efficiency against the virus
  • Filtering up to PM0.1
  • Light and comfortable
  • Premium soft and thin materials to minimise skin irritations and allergies.
  • Best in class protection
  • Fluid resistant
KF94 mask
Khairy Jamaluddin, the Minister of Health of Malaysia, has cautioned Malaysians that an Omicron wave, similar to those detected in other nations worldwide, could happen in Malaysia. The government has advised us to receive our booster shots, apply the TRIIS (test, report, isolate, inform, and seek) measures if we have symptoms, and always wear masks while going outside. The fight against the COVID-19 virus is far from being over; we must always be careful and take extra precautions to ensure our safety and those around us.

Here is What We Know About Omicron Variant So far

by admin
With businesses reopening and more social gatherings among friends and family as the COVID-19 outbreak entered an endemic phase a few months ago, everyone began to rejoice, only for the Omicron variant to emerge. Specialists first discovered the newly mutated Omicron variant in South Africa in November 2021. Among other countries, Malaysia, France, and Germany have reported cases of the Omicron variant.
The new Omicron version is 4.2 times more infectious than the Delta variant, according to research. The variant also has many mutations, including over 30 spike protein variants, enabling the variant to infiltrate into human cells easier.

CONFIRMED CASES IN MALAYSIA 

Malaysia has confirmed 62 Omicron variant cases, 61 of which were imported cases, and one was locally transmitted. The local transmission was a woman from Sarawak who had no prior travel arrangements when afflicted with the virus. Although the cases for the Omicron variant appear to be minimal, statistics show that imported cases have significantly increased. According to one study, Omicron spreads rapidly, doubling in 1.5 to 2.5 days. This data depicts how low numbers can quickly rise to large numbers.

VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST OMICRON VARIANT

The vaccines designed for us consumers have protected us incredibly against the previous Delta variant in reducing the risks if we contracted the COVID-19 virus. However, three to four months after vaccination, two doses of Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines provide less protection against the Omicron variant.
Individuals who received a Pfizer primary course saw a roughly 70 percent protection after a Pfizer booster, dropping to 45 percent after 10-plus weeks, and 70 to 75 percent after a Moderna booster up to 9 weeks after booster.
Individuals who received Astrazeneca immunisations initially then a Pfizer booster saw their protection drop to 35 percent after ten weeks and 45 percent with a Moderna booster.
Two doses of Sinovac developed inadequate antibodies against Omicron, according to a study from the University of Hong Kong. The same incident goes with the Sinovac booster. The University of Hong Kong team suggested a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine for Sinovac immunisation patients.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO PROTECT OURSELVES 

Imperial College’s extensive review of UK data reveals a 40-45 percent reduction in hospitalisation risk compared to the Delta variation. This research implies that Omicron is less harmful, but keep in mind that it can still send many people to the hospital because it is so much more infectious.
The most important thing we can do is reduce our risk of infection. Take the following precautions to guarantee the safety of you and your loved ones:
  • Wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose; medical-grade 3-ply masks or KF94 masks provide the best protection.
  • Clean, sanitise, and disinfect your houses regularly
  • Keep at least a one-metre physical distance between yourself and others.
  • Improve the ventilation in your office or any other enclosed location.
  • If you are outside, wash your hands frequently and bring hand sanitisers with you.
  • Unless required, limit your travel and restrict your interaction time with people.
  • Get immunised and get your booster shot when it’s your turn. COVID-19 vaccines are both effective and safe.

Reasons Why Your Rapid Antigen Test May Show False Result

by admin

Rapid antigen test kits have proven to be an effective and easy method of detecting the COVID-19 virus. You do not even need to go to the clinic to perform the test; you can do it at home or wherever you feel most comfortable.

The Minister of Health, Khairy Jamaluddin, announced that 62 Omicron variant cases had been detected so far, including a female from Sarawak with no recent travel history, implying a local transmission. The virus is said to be alarming, spreading faster than other variants. Due to the development of novel COVID-19 virus variants, before delta and now omicron, rapid antigen COVID-19 testing available in pharmacies, convenience stores, and online stores is in high demand.

Omicron variant

VARIOUS BRANDS OF RAPID ANTIGEN TEST KITS

Many MDA-approved rapid test kits are on the market, including LYHER® Antigen Test Kit, Salixium-COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Rapid Test, Gmate® COVID-19. These rapid antigen test kits can cost as low as RM 7.00 to RM 19.90.

These test kits are available in three different designs: nasal, saliva, and whistling. The first type necessitates the collection of a nasal specimen, whereas the second type necessitates the supply of a saliva specimen. The newly designed whistling rapid test kit has recently become a more popular test kit among children.

The results are not always accurate indications of COVID-19 infections, despite the test only taking up to 15 minutes. For a range of reasons, individuals may receive false-positive or false-negative outcomes.

REASONS FOR FALSE-POSITIVE OR FALSE-NEGATIVE RESULTS

FOOD COULD AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF RAPID ANTIGEN TEST KIT

Acidic food like coffee, soda, or juices can compromise the results of your rapid antigen test. If you are doing a throat swab or test kit that requires a saliva sample, avoid these food. You should avoid eating or drinking 30 minutes to 1 hour before the rapid antigen COVID-19 test. It is advisable not to take the test after brushing your teeth, as it may temporarily cleanse the virus out of your mouth and result in a false negative.

STORAGE CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURE 

It is crucial to remember that storage conditions are essential, and storing the test outside these conditions can affect its accuracy. Before utilising a specific test, make sure you completely understand the temperature and storage instructions.

TIMING YOU USE THE RAPID ANTIGEN TEST 

If you test yourself too early, regardless if you have COVID-19 or not, your test will come back negative. A person may test negative if there is not enough virus in the sample. This can happen in the first few days after contracting the infection. It is indeed possible that even if you have symptoms and a negative test, there was not enough virus present at the time.

INDIVIDUAL ERROR

Individual error is another major cause of a false result. We may not collect a good enough sample on the nasal swab or saliva test because we are not as trained as the healthcare professionals. Thus, reading the rapid antigen testing recommendations is critical.

There is currently insufficient data about the Omicron version. The Omicron variation stands out among COVID-19 variants due to its abnormally high number of mutations. It is critical to keep yourself and your family safe from contracting this virus at all times. It’s essential to get your symptoms checked out as soon as possible. Suppose your symptoms develop over time or the findings appear positive. In that case, the quickest way to find out is to use a rapid antigen test kit. It is easy and quick, and would save you a trip to the clinic.

Enviro Group is committed to assisting Malaysians in getting tested for the COVID-19 virus, and our latest offering, the Lyher COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit, is available at RM 10.00 per test kit. It is available in two methods, saliva collection or nasal swab to collect the specimen. It is easy to use and can produce results in as little as 15 minutes, with a sensitivity of 93.33 percent and a specificity of 100 percent.

Why Disinfection is Essential to Keep Your House Safe

by admin

When we think about our houses, we think about the places where we may rest, relax, and rejuvenate after a long day of working or running errands. To live comfortably, we need to keep our houses clean and free of germs and grime. Even if some of us are still working remotely and are not getting out as much, it could pose a problem if any of your family members need to leave the house.

When we return to our houses, we bring the filth and viruses that have adhered to our clothes or things. These microorganisms are responsible for more than only COVID-19 infection; they also transmit other viruses and bacteria that can lead to diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome and tuberculosis.

Disinfection in Malaysia Office

CLEANING VS DISINFECTING

Cleaning is simply the removal of dirt, dust, crumbs, and germs from surfaces or things. You will most likely use soap and water to clean surfaces and products physically. The viruses may or may not still clung to the surfaces. There is also the risk of cross-contamination. The detergent and the cleaning wipes could be spreading diseases when you wipe from one surface to the other. This procedure is insufficient to assure that your house is free of dangerous particles.

While disinfection does not remove dirt, dust, or crumbs from surfaces, it kills bacteria and viruses effectively. Disinfecting is the process of eliminating germs and viruses using chemicals. Tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, workstations, mobile phones, tablets, remotes, toilets, sinks, and kitchen counters should be cleaned and disinfected regularly because people frequently handle them.

REASONS TO DISINFECT YOUR HOUSE

HELPS MAINTAIN HYGIENE

Disinfection is the solution because germs and viruses can go undetected to our naked eyes. Disinfectants contain potent chemicals that can kill every virus, pathogen, or bacteria found on any surface. When your surroundings are constantly sterile, it is impossible to maintain poor hygiene, making it possible to maintain a high level of hygiene.

DISINFECTION MINIMISES THE RISK OF COVID-19 SPREAD

With COVID-19 on the rise, it’s critical to maintain your environment virus-free. You can try to clean your house and business after a new individual enters, but you never know who is infected. You may have a family member infected with a virus but is unaware of it. Regular disinfection reduces the possibility of contamination.

Disinfection in Malaysia

DISINFECTION PROCESS COVERS A WIDER AREA

The virus could also land on multiple surfaces and survive for several days, making it more challenging to clean it with soaps or detergents. The disinfectant sprayer disinfects surfaces that are more difficult to reach than others, such as corners of living rooms, behind the cabinets, or upper-level cupboards.

BACTERIA, VIRUSES, AND GERMS CAN STAY ON SURFACE

Bacteria, viruses, and germs are seen in studies to linger on surfaces for hours, days, or even months after being cleaned. If we do not take preventative disinfection measures, the accumulation of bacteria may lead to more severe safety effects.

DISINFECTION PREVENTS ILLNESSES AND KEEPS YOUR FAMILY SAFE

Humans have a habit of touching their faces after touching a surface. Since disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria on frequently touched surfaces, it mandates a healthier way of life. Diseases spread slowly or not at all as a result. You and your family will be able to live a healthier, disease-free life.

SOME DISINFECTANTS CAN LAST FOR DAYS ON SURFACES

If you use the proper disinfectants, you not only remove any virus on your surfaces, but you can also kill the virus as it comes into contact with these surfaces. These disinfectants protect and can be effective for up to 90 days after application.

Disinfection in Malaysia Company

The bottom line is, while cleaning is vital to guarantee that our house is free of clutter to make it easier for us to rest and unwind after a day of work, we must also go the extra mile to ensure that it is free of germs, bacteria, and viruses. Disinfecting our houses is proven to bring many benefits to us. We can live a much healthier life when our houses are clean and free from viruses, germs, and bacteria.

Stay tuned for our next post to learn more on how Enviro Group is here to help you keep your houses clean and safe.

Air Purifiers and the Benefits for Children

by admin

Air purifiers are  great investment for any family nowadays. Why? The air we breathe today is not the same as it was. There were fewer structures and automobiles releasing harmful gaseous pollutants. When harmful and invisible particles are present in the air we breathe, we have air pollution. It can lead to various health problems, including itchy eyes, breathing difficulties, asthma-like symptoms, and, in the long run, pulmonary and heart disease. While these are the expected effects of air pollution, the consequences for children are far more serious.

HEALTH RISKS OF AIR POLLUTION 

Air pollution harms children more than adults because they breathe more rapidly, absorbing more pollutants. These air pollutants will impede their growth and development because their bodies and brains are still developing. According to Dr. Maria Neira, Director of the World Health Organisation’s Department of Public Health, Environmental, and Social Determinants of Health, air pollution is hampering our children’s brains and impacting their well-being in much more ways than we realise. While we cannot control the quality of the air outside, parents are becoming aware of the importance of providing clean indoor air to their children to avoid these health hazards.
Asian Children Breath Clean Air

BENEFITS OF AIR PURIFIERS

It is important to provide clean air for the development of your children. You can significantly improve your children’s quality of life by paying closer attention to the air they breathe—installing an air purifier is one of the best ways to improve the quality of air in your home. Air purifiers have a number of advantages that will benefit both adults and children.

1- AIR PURIFIERS PREVENT ILLNESSES THROUGH AIRBORNE TRANSMISSION

High-level pollutants, such as fine dust particles, debris, pet dander, and even viruses, exist in the air we breathe. Fine particles in polluted air can enter our lungs and cardiovascular systems. It can then cause high-risk conditions such as heart disease and pneumonia. Air purifiers will absorb all of these fine particles and release clean air, assuring the prevention of illnesses spread through airborne transmission.

2- AIR PURIFIERS ENHANCE SLEEP QUALITY

Children require more sleep than adults in order to improve their growth, cognitive function, and overall health. As a result, they spend the majority of their time in their rooms, surrounded by dust mites, bacteria, and viruses, as well as outside particle pollution that enters through windows and ventilation systems. Air purifiers in children’s bedrooms encourage better sleep, which leads to better growth and well-being.

3- REDUCES THE RISK OF ASTHMA

PM2.5 pollution is made up of particles smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter. Because of their small size, the particles are easily inhaled and can penetrate deep into the airways, triggering or inflaming respiratory symptoms. HEPA filters in air purifiers can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns before releasing clean air, reducing the risk of asthma in children.

4- IMPROVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN

Children’s bodies are still developing, and they are far more prone to diseases than adults. Air pollution can impact children’s development while still in the wombs. Pollutants in the air could stunt their progress. You may prevent these stumbling blocks by installing air purifiers in your home, allowing your children to grow in a healthy environment.

In recent years, there have been more constructions on the left and right, cities full of vehicles on the roads, and the emission of poisonous gaseous by factories, all of which contribute to the severe health risks that these factors pose to children. Parents are becoming more conscious of the significance of providing clean and purified air in their homes. Clean air is essential in the development and well-being of their children. Long-term exposure to polluted air can interfere with these developmental processes, causing these children to suffer in the long run.
 

The Effects Of Air Quality On Office Employees

by admin

The air quality within structures is called indoor air quality (IAQ). The quality of indoor air is significantly poorer than outdoor air quality. Indoor air pollution arises when fresh air circulation is limited and hazardous substances are present throughout the indoor space. Many factors could lead to the dropping of air quality, such as tobacco smoke, dust, mould, and mildew. Employers must ensure the safety and cleanliness of the air their employees inhale as more sectors resume entire operations following the endemic phase of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Employees spend hours inhaling the same air cycle at their desks each day. As a result, businesses must ensure optimal indoor air quality and ventilation. Indoor air pollution aggravates or causes a wide range of health issues among office workers, including itching eyes, headaches, nausea, flu-like symptoms, breathing difficulties, and asthma-like symptoms.

Many occupational health accidents are due to indoor air pollution; hence it is vital to keep the air inside your commercial facility clean and safe. More employees are adopting various ways to improve the air quality within their commercial buildings with the instalment of proper ventilation, the usage of air filtration systems, and indoor air quality assessments now and then. The air quality in an office can significantly impact employees’ cognitive function, such as response times, focus capacity, and productivity.

A new study conducted by the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health on participants in offices from various industries such as engineering, real estate investing, and architecture on the effects of increased concentrations of delicate particulate matter (PM) 2. 5 and lower carbon dioxide (CO2) ventilation rates led to impaired cognitive function, such as slower response times and lower accuracy on a series of cognitive tests.

The study included approximately 300 people ranging in age from 18 to 65 who worked in the same office buildings for at least three days each week in China, India, Mexico, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each workstation received 2. 5 PM concentrations, CO2, temperature, and relative humidity. The participants administered their performance using cognitive tests and surveys in a specifically designed application. Participants in the study had to complete tests and questionnaires at set times or when environmental sensors detected PM2.5 and CO2 levels lower or higher than predetermined limits.

The first test required employees to identify the color of the presented text; the purpose of this test was to examine cognitive speed and ability to focus on crucial information while being exposed to irrelevant stimuli. The second test was a series of simple arithmetic questions to assess cognitive speed and working memory. As the amounts of PM 2.5 and CO2 in the atmosphere grew, so did the response times and accuracy of the first colour-based test. Only an increase in CO2 was linked to slower arithmetic-based response times but increased concentration in both influenced individuals to complete fewer questions correctly within the timeframe permitted.

Employers can improve air quality within their office buildings by conducting indoor air quality assessments, installing air purifiers, and inspecting and removing pollutants. Enviro Group urges enterprises to ensure the cleanliness and safety of their employees’ air circulation. Read on to know about some of the initiatives employees may take to enhance the indoor air quality of their workplace.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

The purpose of an indoor air quality evaluation is to identify issues about the quality of air in your facilities and establish long-term solutions to these concerns. Monitoring the indoor air quality in a building or enclosed space can be the most effective strategy to address health issues caused by poor indoor air quality. At Enviro, the processes of indoor air quality assessments are as follows:

HEALTHWAY AIR PURIFIERS

An air purifier is a device that filters and eliminates contaminants from space to improve indoor air quality. It improves interior air quality by filtering out odours, smoke, dust, furniture cleaning, and pet dander and releasing purified air.

Enviroverks (M) Sdn. Bhd. carries only the best air purifiers. One of the most important elements to examine is whether the air purifier employs a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, the standard recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Lung Association. Furthermore, Healthway air purifiers use Disinfection Filtration System (DFS) Technology, which is 40 times more effective than HEPA technology.

While HEPA filtration technology is the standard set for an air filtration system that captures 99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns, DFS Technology captures 99.99 percent of all particles as small as 0.007 microns. In addition to removing odour, pet dander, and smoke, this DFS Technology can eliminate viruses in the air; something HEPA filter cannot do.

MOULD REMOVAL SERVICE

Mould spores can be found practically anywhere and can infiltrate a private residence with a susceptible atmosphere, such as warm, damp, and humid circumstances. Mould can spread throughout a property in 48 hours, introducing allergens and irritants that might harm one’s health. Accessing the facility to discover the likely root causes of the mould infestation is part of our mould decontamination and restoration process. Following this, a thorough remediation process is done to eradicate and return the environment to its before condition.

AIR DUCT CLEANING SERVICE

Air ducts are significant elements that interact in a building to produce indoor environmental conditions. The maintenance of air ducts and air conditioning systems is sometimes overlooked, resulting in various concerns such as contamination of collected debris, jeopardised assets owing to contamination build-up, and deterioration of duct insulation.

Enviroverks (M) Sdn. Bhd. is one of the few companies in Malaysia having a NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification, which ensures that systems are cleaned professionally. We scour the entire air duct system by the American standard ACR 2006.

The COVID-19 outbreak has prompted people to focus more on developing new measures for limiting the spread of the virus and other infectious diseases, such as providing sufficient ventilation, filtration systems, and maintaining indoor air quality. We at Enviro Group are committed to helping businesses to improve indoor air quality in office buildings. Providing fresh indoor air creates a healthier working environment, allowing your employees to perform better and become more productive. The healthier the indoor air quality and atmosphere of the workplace space, the more engaged and productive employees will be.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Here Are 7 Reasons Why You Need a Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer

by admin
Disinfection services have been in the market long before the COVID-19 pandemic, but their use has increased since then, as more people are becoming more aware that keeping your place safe from this virus requires more than just traditional cleaning. Traditional cleaning methods are inadequate for dealing with this scenario.

Endemic Phase of COVID-19

In conjunction with the government declaring that Malaysia is moving into an endemic phase of COVID-19, premises have to take additional measures to protect their safety and patrons, such as disinfecting their premises, putting extra effort to ensure their premises are not just clean but also safe from COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases.
Restaurants are reopening after a long period of just offering takeout and delivery. Students must attend physical sessions rather than online learning, and gymnasiums are available for clients who want to be healthier. Every location is currently open for business! Disinfecting these areas is vital to ensuring everyone’s safety. We couldn’t, for example, seek disinfection services after every customer in a cafe or after every lesson in a school. What is the best method to handle this? Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer!
Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer
The cordless disinfectant sprayer is becoming more popular as businesses seize possibilities to assist society in reducing the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Individuals can sterilise and disinfect their surroundings swiftly and efficiently, most importantly, independently. Conventional cleaning is no longer enough to ensure your environment is completely safe from the COVID-19 virus or other infectious diseases. The cordless disinfectant sprayer activates liquids as they travel through the nozzle. These activated droplets then repel one another and stick to environmental surfaces, producing an even coating that is sprayed efficiently and effectively.
Enviro’s Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer is the finest cordless disinfectant sprayer on the market for your needs. The following are some of the key features of our Cordless Disinfectant Sprayer:
  • Optimum spray distance of 3 to 5 metres

There are many benefits in up-keeping the cleanliness of your premises by using the cordless disinfectant sprayer compared to conventional cleaning.

1. Uniform and even coating

When opposed to the traditional cleaning procedure, each sprayer sprays the same amount of disinfectant, resulting in a more uniform and even coating. 

2. Touchless application

The uniform and even coating applied dries without the need for tissues or wipes, reducing the surfaces you have to touch in order to disinfect the area.

3. Prevents cross-contamination 

The traditional spray-and-wipe method can cross-contaminate surfaces because germs can linger on clothes or wipes used on other surfaces and contaminate fresh surfaces that need to be cleaned.

4. High area coverage

The cordless disinfectant sprayer covers more difficult-to-reach surfaces than other disinfecting methods, such as the corners of bedrooms or upper-level cupboards. It coats up to 5000 sq/ft on a single 1.8 litre tank of fluid.

5. Uses lesser disinfectant

Users have more control over where the disinfectant goes, resulting in less waste or overuse of disinfectant products—a reduction of up to 50% compared to the conventional wipe-and-clean method.

6. Efficient for all places

Due to their portability, individuals can use cordless disinfectant sprayers in any environment, including classrooms, living rooms, restaurants, gymnasiums, and even cars. The handheld and lightweight design make it easier for a single person to operate the machine.

7. Reduces cost 

Instead of constantly buying wet wipes or cleaning the room with regular soap or tissue, cordless disinfectant sprayers usually come with a longer-lasting disinfectant liquid.
A cordless disinfectant sprayer is unquestionably necessary for any establishment, whether it is a kindergarten, restaurant, gym class, or workplace. It is a useful tool for protecting oneself against the COVID-19 virus and other infectious diseases.
