Almost everyone has experienced the lack of
fresh air in a room, which is an issue during all seasons, e.g. in winter, when
by saving heat, people forget about healthy air exchange. Air quality is also
critically low when a large amount of people is in one room at the same time,
breathing out all the oxygen, and leaving harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) – fatigue, drowsiness, heavy feeling,
reduced work and concentration abilities appear. How to solve this problem? We
invited <a target="_blank" href="https://majaelpo.lv/en">Māja
Elpo</a> specialists who offer solution to this
health-threatening situation on a daily basis.

<h2>3 risks that people face at home, school and work</h2>

There are three risks that anyone living,
working and studying in spaces where proper air quality has not been taken into
account will face:

1. Carbon dioxide (CO2). For
example, if the carbon dioxide reading in the fresh air near the sea, in a pine
forest, does not exceed 300-400 units, the limit where health problems arise is
1000 units. In kindergartens, schools, workplaces and homes during the heating
season, building supervisors make sure that there is enough heat in the
building, but do they also make sure that there is enough oxygen? The CO2
concentration in the air is measured by a meter, but it can also be sensed by
feeling drowsiness, fatigue, inability to concentrate, even apathy or a sense
of suffocation indicate that there is too much CO2 in the room. Prolonged
exposure to such environments may result in serious health problems;

2. Mould resulting from increased
indoor humidity. If allowed to develop, a person regularly suffers from nasal
mucosal irritation and swelling, developing a dry or wet cough, skin rash, red
eyes, tearing, and even asthma attacks. People who suffer from chronic diseases
or those with weakened immune systems are more likely to suffer from infectious
diseases. Prolonged exposure to mould may result in a person suffering liver,
kidney damage, tumour development;

3. Harmful substances found in
the air. Particular attention should be paid to premises located in areas with
heavy traffic, industrial processes, high building density or other factors
that increase physical, chemical and biological air pollution. These risks are
particularly dangerous for babies, older people, and people with a lowered
immune system. Although, to be precise, this type of air pollution is
particularly harmful to any living being, as it causes respiratory tract, lung
damage, risk of poisoning.

dangerous risks – <a target="_blank" href="https://majaelpo.lv/en">Māja
