Help for optimizing the indoor climate
Typical sources of TVOC in schools and offices
When we talk about the indoor climate in our schools and offices, it is important to focus on the different sources of TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds). These volatile organic compounds can have a major impact on our health and well-being, so it is crucial to understand where they come from and how we can best manage them.
According to the Danish Building Research Institute, indoor air pollution can come from a variety of sources. This can range from building materials and furnishings to cleaning products and personal care products. These chemical substances can pose a risk to our health, and it is therefore important to be aware of them.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency has also mapped chemical substances in the indoor environment and found that emissions from building materials and furnishings can contribute to high levels of TVOC. This is a challenge that we face in both schools and offices, and it is important to find solutions that can reduce these emissions.
The Danish Technological Institute's Indoor Climate Report from 2021 points out that indoor climate is of great importance to our health and well-being. High levels of TVOC can lead to discomfort such as headaches, fatigue and irritation of the eyes and respiratory tract. It is therefore crucial to focus on improving the indoor climate in our buildings.
According to the Bolius Knowledge Center, there is a clear connection between TVOC and health, and it is important to be aware of this in connection with the indoor climate. By reducing the levels of TVOC, we can create a healthier and more comfortable environment for everyone who stays in our schools and offices.
FAQ about Sources of TVOC
How can sources of TVOC be identified in a room?
According to the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, sources of TVOC can be identified by conducting a thorough examination of building materials, furnishings and cleaning products in the room.
What can be done to reduce TVOC levels in an indoor environment?
An effective way to reduce TVOC levels is to choose materials and products with low emissions, as well as ensure good ventilation in the room.
Is there a difference in sources of TVOC in schools and offices?
Yes, there may be differences in the sources of TVOC in schools and offices, as the two types of buildings often use different materials and fixtures.
