Air Quality is one of the most important issues that have taken centre-stage in all the environment discussions. You may find ample of studies and statistics in national dailies that talk about this recently. Indoor air pollution is a silent killer. Typically, it is 5-10 times worse than the ambient air and is considered as the second highest killer in India after blood pressure. Hence, it is imperative that we look at the solutions that help us in keeping our indoor space healthy. Fortunately, there are ways to curtail it. Paharpur Business Centre (PBC) maintains Indoor Air Quality that conforms to American Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) standards. It is also the first commercial building in India to achieve USGBC LEED Platinum certification. Based on an intensive two year study, PBC has also been rated as one of the healthiest ready-to-move- Breathe EasyTM, a division of PBC provides testing, design and consultation to bring the Indoor Air Quality to ASHRAE and WHO specified guidelines. Now, we are helping other companies to implement solutions for improving Indoor Air Quality. We offer customized solutions for small- and large-sized corporate house, commercial infrastructures and homes as well. Breathe EasyTM helps in combating the air quality problem with a holistic approach towards energy efficiency. We detoxify the air inside our building by keeping green plants. These indoor plants help in removing chemical toxins present in the air. They produce oxygen which helps in maintaining air quality inside the building. These easy-to-maintain, common indoor plants are Areca Palm, Money plant and Mother-in-law’ Air pollutants can be either in the form of gases or particles. The most common air pollutants are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Particulate Matter (PM 10 & 2.5), Nitrogen Oxides (NO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2). Exposure to these can lead to an array of health disorders like premature mortality; damage to liver, kidney and central nervous system; headaches; eye, nose and throat irritation; chronic respiratory diseases; asthma; cough; discomfort in the chest and even certain VOC’s can cause cancer in humans. Clean and fresh air not only keeps you away from the health risks but also improves productivity. PBC has been monitoring its Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and publishes the results on its website every day since 1996.
