COVID-19 has changed the way we work. With social distance measures still in place, many employers have opted for their employees to work remotely. According to recent studies, 58.6% of the total U.S workforce are remote workers.
While the approval rating amongst employees working remotely is high, many people were not prepared to work from home. This has caused newly remote employees to work in less desirable spaces than they usually would—for example, unfinished basements and poorly ventilated rooms. Oftentimes, spaces like these are prone to mold, asbestos, and other issues!
Health and wellbeing are directly correlated to your indoor air quality. Working in low air quality spaces can lead to many health complications such as respiratory illnesses, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, cause shortness of breath, aggravate asthma, and even affect the heart and cardiovascular system.
You could be working in a space with pollutants and not even be aware of it until you start to feel ill. Some pollutants commonly found indoors are radon, nitrogen dioxide, lead particles, asbestos, mold, or mildew.
Working in a space with quality air provides many benefits. Fresh air increases the flow of oxygen in the body, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, strengthens the immune system, cleanses the lungs, relieves stress, energizes the body, and sharpens the mind thanks to greater oxygen exchange!
