| Threatening air |

Air conditioning systems are vital elements in office buildings, but can be a source of problems as well. It's not commonly known that the air treatment unit is an ideal habitat for microorganisms like bacteria, molds and yeasts. Poor maintenance will result in the growth and spread of these microorganisms. As fresh air exhange will not eliminate them, health risks could arise. These vary from headaches, fatigue, irritation of mucous membranes in the eye, nose and throat to something much more serious like the legionnaires' disease. Examining the microbiological composition of the air could be useful if a high percentage of personnel is suffering from symptoms that could be related to the air quality or if prevention is the aim. GMC can provide highly skilled people who take samples of the air and analyze them. The air sample analysis report that they draw up will help you decide what measures could or should be taken. If need be, GMC can offer you all the help required to clean air conditioning systems in order to keep your working environment healthy. |
