Air quality research: impact on productivity and performance

CAMBRIDGE, U.K. - Sept. 21, 2021 - PRLog -- Research shows that dirty air kills your productivity and hampers your decision-making. This is even more the case for people working next to a congested highway, flaming incinerator or busy power plant. However, the list is not exhaustive... While you might not be working in an area you consider dirty or polluted, that doesn't mean the air in your office is clean. In fact, far from it.

The air in your office suddenly becomes very important when negative air quality starts impacting on employees' productivity, performance and wellbeing. Seemingly everyday objects and activities in your office emit gasses known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These VOCs float around in the office air and enter the body through your mouth and your skin.

And that is how it all starts. ESCREO have prepared an article which reviews this research in more details together with an overview of another supporting research which explains how air quality impacts productivity and decision making. And the results were alarming. This is why ESCREO also provides some guidance on how to improve office air quality to achieve significantly better decision-making performance, productivity and cognitive performance.
