Why Is It Important to Monitor Indoor Air Quality?
The term indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the exact air conditions within enclosed spaces including homes, office buildings, schools, hospitals, research facilities, laboratories, and more.
Founded in 2008 in Greenfield, Indiana, Sonicu began manufacturing noise monitoring to protect vulnerable infants in neonatal intensive care units, and has evolved to monitor and protect a diverse set of sensitive conditions and environments.
Sonicu has ~600 customers in all 50 states, as well as in Canada and the Caribbean and serves the healthcare, life sciences, pharmaceutical, and food service industries.
At Sonicu, we recognize the importance of Indoor Air Quality and offer solutions designed to monitor and regulate IAQ.
Indoor air quality encompasses diverse conditions including the presence of pollutants, temperature levels, humidity levels, and even ventilation.
Being able to effectively monitor and regulate indoor air quality is essential for a number of reasons:
- Poor air quality can have an adverse impact on human health and wellness.
- Contaminants such as allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, and particulate matter are all known to trigger or exacerbate respiratory health challenges, allergies, asthma along with other health problems.
- Clean and fresh indoor air has also been proven to boost cognitive function, concentration, and even productivity.
- Exposure to air pollutants has been shown to have long-term health and wellness repercussions leading to chronic diseases.
