Breathe easy on Clean Air Day!

Posted Date 15/06/2023

Clean Air Day is a global initiative that aims to raise awareness about the importance of clean air and its impact on our health and the environment. It serves as a reminder to everyone to take steps towards reducing air pollution and improving air quality.

Indoor air pollution has become a growing concern in recent years. The air we breathe indoors can contain harmful particles such as carbon dioxide, dust, and bacteria. These pollutants can have adverse effects on our respiratory system and overall well-being. To combat this issue, Andrews Sykes offers a range of air purification systems, including air cleaners, air purifiers, and ventilation fans.

Polluted Air – Why Care?

Recent reports have highlighted the dangers of toxic or polluted air in indoor spaces, which can lead to a range of health issues including sickness, miscarriages, dementia, and even premature death. The Health Effects Institute has also found that even low levels of air pollution can have damaging consequences on human health.

A two-year study by medical journal The Lancet has revealed that 800,000 people die every year due to poor air quality in their workplaces. These findings underscore the need for immediate action to improve air quality, starting with the places where most people spend their time outside of the home – offices.

Air purification offers renewed hope in the fight against Covid-19, study finds

High-tech air quality control solutions could put an end to Covid-19 transmissions in hospitals, according to a recent trial.

As part of efforts to tackle Covid-19 outbreaks within healthcare settings, government officials are on the verge of approving a pilot study involving the use of air purifiers in hospital wards.

This is expected to be similar to the investigation recently conducted at a number of schools in Bradford, where air purification systems were used inside classrooms.

The announcement comes just weeks after separate research carried out earlier this year revealed that filtration systems were able to remove almost all airborne traces of Covid-19.

Air purification can support transition to a new normal, according to study

Many Brits intend to persevere with masks and social distancing despite government restrictions easing, a recent study by Andrews Sykes has found.

We conducted a survey of 2,000 adults who revealed their thoughts and attitudes towards the idea of reverting to normal life once the pandemic subsides.

A staggering 50 per cent of respondents admit they will continue wearing masks for the foreseeable future, despite there being no legal obligation to do so in most settings.

One in three will insist on sitting away from anyone they don’t know in pubs and restaurants, while 28 per cent will still ask for a table outside and 24 per cent will insist on table service.

Is your office prepared for a return to normality?

Boris Johnson has confirmed that the working from home directive will be lifted from July 19, opening the door for more people to return to the office over the coming weeks.

Under step four of the Government’s roadmap, employers have been encouraged to “start planning a safe return to the workplace” as part of a measured but highly anticipated switch to normality.

The relaxing of existing guidance includes ending the legal mandate to wear masks and removing the obligation to socially distance, with sector-by-sector advice expected imminently.
