In order to improve the air quality in rooms, it is helpful to permanently check the quality. It is important to interpret the measured values and to understand their effects in order to take measures in time to prevent effects on humans.
The following table shows the different levels of air quality evaluated according to your Indoor Air Quality Index (IAQ).
IAQ Index | Air quality | Effects (long-term exposure) | Proposed action |
0 – 50 | Excellent | Clean air; the best for your well-being | No action required |
51 – 100 | Good | No irritation or effects on well-being | No action required |
101 – 150 | Slightly contaminated | Reduction of well-being possible | Ventilation suggested |
151 – 200 | Moderately contaminated | Clearer irritation possible | Increase ventilation with clean air |
201 – 250 | Highly contaminated | Exposure can cause effects such as headaches, depending on the nature of the VOCs | Improve ventilation |
> 250 | Highly contaminated | More serious health problems possible if harmful VOCs are present | Contamination should be identified if the level is reached without the presence of people; maximize ventilation & reduce presence |
Fire probability
| IAQ Index | Fire probability |
|---|---|
| ≤ 300 | No Fire probability |
| 301 - 350 | Low Fire probability |
| 351 - 400 | Increased fire probability |
| > 400 | High fire probability |
