Indoor environments have been identified as one of the top five most urgent environmental risks to public health. As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure your employees are safe and healthy and to try to improve indoor air quality.
Although there are numerous indoor air pollutants that can be spread through a building, they typically fall into three basic categories: biological, chemical and particulate. Symptoms of poor workplace environments vary but can easily be mistaken for symptoms of other illnesses such as allergies, stress, colds and influenza.
Here at Euro Environmental Ltd, we provide indoor air quality solutions including mould testing and other assessments for a range of common indoor environment issues. We can also provide ongoing advice and the monitoring of both air quality and physical conditions within your workplace.

Indoor Air Quality Testing
Poor air quality within the indoor environment can result in occupants experiencing a number of symptoms ranging from fatigue to shortness of breath. Factors such as poor ventilation and air pollutants can be the main cause of what is commonly known as Sick Building Syndrome. Euro Environmental can provide general air quality assessments or specialist investigations to identify nuisance smells within any environment and help to improve indoor air quality.
Odour InvestigationWe don’t just deal with dust. Odours that are generated from unknown sources can be unpleasant or potentially harmful. We can develop sampling and analysis strategies to investigate the cause and identify its potential source.

The law says employers must make sure there’s an adequate supply of fresh air in the workplace. There are two ways of maximising the level of fresh air in a workspace, either by natural and / or mechanical ventilation. Ventilation control measures play an essential role in improving air quality and staff well being.
