Analyze Your Indoor Air

Why analyze and measure indoor air quality?

We spend more than 80% of our time indoors, so it’s essential to ensure we do so in healthy conditions.

Every day, we breathe in 12 m³ of air — the equivalent of the volume of a small van.

The quality of this air must be impeccable. Yet, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 2 million premature deaths annually are caused by air pollution.

Main indoor pollutants

Pollution from VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and formaldehyde is found in 90% of French homes.

It is very thin and often slips under doors, making it a real nuisance.
Tobacco Smoke
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are pollutants resulting from refining processes, the evaporation of organic solvents, unburned residues, and more.
VOCs
Viruses and bacteria spread through the air. Due to their very small size, they often hitch a ride on fine particles, such as PM2.5, to move around.
Viruses and bacteria
Mold appears on damp walls as a fine, spongy layer.
Mold
Our daily activities in the home cause air pollution, such as in the kitchen when we heat a cooking surface.
Cooking Odors
They are primarily found in bedding and are a source of allergies and complications for individuals with asthma.
Dust Mites
Dust consists of fine particles from various sources, including pollen, dirt, mold (dead skin cells), ash, chemicals, exhaust fumes, hair, fabric fibers, and more.

Identify the main indoor air pollutants

Analyze mold

Mold consists of tiny fungi that appear as a fine layer of fuzz. It thrives in areas with excessive humidity and insufficient ventilation. Mold is harmful to health, can emit unpleasant odors, and worsens conditions for individuals with allergies or chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma.

Analyze radon

Radon is an invisible, radioactive gas that comes from the soil. It is highly dangerous, resulting from the decay of uranium and radium naturally found in the ground. Among non-smokers, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer.

It is measured in Bq/m³ (becquerels per cubic meter).

Analyze CO2

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a molecule naturally produced and exhaled by the human body during respiration. Elevated CO2 levels in homes are a clear indicator of poor ventilation. High concentrations can cause:

Headaches

Fatigue

Exacerbation of asthma and allergies

Analyze VOCs

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde are pollutants commonly found in cleaning products, solvents, household equipment, coatings, and more. Many VOCs are byproducts of human activities such as smoking, burning incense, or lighting candles.

Consequences of indoor air pollution

Polluted air can lead to long-term health issues, especially for vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and those who spend the majority of their time indoors.

Respiratory Issues

  • Wheezing or difficulty breathing
  • Dryness or irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin
  • Chronic lung conditions such as bronchitis or asthma

Cardiovascular Problems

  • Chest or arm pain
  • Swelling in the ankles and feet
  • Increasing shortness of breath

    To effectively combat indoor air pollution, it's crucial to understand the characteristics of each room and the specific pollutants present. This knowledge will help you select the most suitable air treatment device.
