This can be simply done by plants ( NASA – Clean Air Study), but more about this in another blog. There are many ways to upgrade your air quality in your house. Residential units can further improve indoor air quality by routine cleaning of carpets and area rugs. Source control, filtration and the use of ventilation to dilute contaminants are the primary methods for improving indoor air quality in most buildings. IAQ can be affected by gases (including carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds), particulates, microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), or any mass or energy stressor that can induce adverse health conditions. The Indoor air quality ( IAQ) is a term which refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is.īut For the Indoor Air Quality ther is a differt index called IAQ. The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. You can see how clean the Air is by looking at the AQI.

That’s because of harmful particulate matter released by, among other things, baking and frying, burning candles or the fireplace. Also in many homes the air quality is not enough. The WHO (World Healt Orginasation) Speaks of 7 million deaths annually by dirty air. There still die thousands of people in Netherlands early by particulates. That writes the independent advisory body to the Cabinet Tuesday in an opinion. The Health Council of the Netherlands: Government needs to do more for air quality. Before we can use this sensor we need to have som background information, so we know how to use it. Now for one of my ongoing projects I’m going to try the GP2Y1010AU0F – PM2.5 Optical Particle Sensor. In the past I used different Sensors like the DHT11, DHT22 and MQ135.
