Many people think about housing through a very simple prism: is it warm, is it beautiful, is it comfortable? However, one of the most important parts of feeling good at home is the air. If the air is bad, a person may feel constant fatigue, headaches, heaviness, worse sleep, eye irritation or respiratory tract sensitivity. Children may have more frequent coughing, allergic reactions, sleep disorders. And very often people do not even associate these sensations with the quality of the air in the home.

We measure the most important indoor air indicators:
• PM2.5
• PM10
• formaldehyde (HCHO)
• TVOC – volatile organic compounds
• AQI – overall air quality index

This study is especially useful in newly built homes, after renovations, after furniture installation, as well as in older apartments or houses where there is poor ventilation, humidity, dust accumulation or an unclear well-being problem.

What do these indicators mean to the average person?

PM2.5 and PM10 are small solid particles in the air. They can come from dust, soot, street pollution, stoves, fireplaces, construction work or simply poor air circulation. The smaller the particles, the deeper they can enter the respiratory tract.
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a substance that can be released from certain furniture, panels, glues, flooring, paints or other finishing materials. The problem most often becomes apparent in newly furnished homes, when everything looks clean and new, but the air is still “heavy”.
TVOC is the total amount of volatile organic compounds. In simple terms, these are various chemicals that evaporate into the indoor air from finishing, furniture, cleaners, paints or other sources.
AQI is a general air quality index that helps to more easily assess the overall situation.

What problems does this service solve?

This study helps to understand:
• is the air in your home really good, or does it just seem that way;
• whether there is increased chemical pollution after the renovation;
• whether new furniture and materials worsen air quality;
• whether small particles accumulate indoors;
• whether ventilation works efficiently enough;
• whether poor health can be related to the home environment.

A common scenario: a person buys a new apartment, installs a beautiful kitchen, arranges furniture, and organizes the interior, but after a few weeks or months notices that headaches are more common at home, they wake up with a heavy head in the morning, children start coughing, and the rooms seem to lack freshness. Visually, everything looks great, so the problem remains unclear.
