Sick Building Syndrome

Indoor Air Quality - IAQ

3

Indoor Air Quality Concern

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is an important determinant of individual’s

performance, health and well being.

This is because people spend most of their time in indoor then out door

Results of numerous studies have demonstrated that Building Related Symptoms (BRS) can adversely affect

efficiency, productivity and occupant well being.

4

Studies on IAQ

Indoor Environment contains variety of visible & invisible contaminants

Airborne diseases are 2 to10 times higher in indoor then outdoor

Fresh Air is restricted in closed environment of doubled glass buildings

Lack of fresh air intake increased use of artificial synthetic building materials

5

Indoor Air Contaminations

VOC ODOR SMOKE DUST CO2 FUNGUS, MOLD AND MICROBES AIR BORNE BACTERIA

6

VOC CONSTITUENTS

There are more than 100 known VOCs

Most VOC are Hydro Carbon Contain Carbon, Hydrogen & Oxygen

Susceptible to Oxidization Oxidization Reduces these to

O2, H2O, & CO2

7

SOURCE OF VOC Body Excretions Furniture Paints, Varnish & Polish Sticking chemicals Carpets Stationary, Printers & Copiers Cooking Aerosols & Cleaning Chemicals Pest control chemical

8

ODOR

ODOR IS MAJOR IRRITANT

TRANSIENT ODOR (Instantaneous) RESIDUAL ODOR (Retained Odor)

Residual odor - Difficult to Remove by Conventional Methods

9

SOURCE OF ODOR

Food odorBody odorCigarette SmokeOdor from footwearCarpetFurniture GlueSynthetic MaterialPaint, varnish, polishCleaning Chemicals

10

SOURCE OF FUNGS, MOLD & MICROBES

Visitors AHU Ducts Humidity Damp Carpets, walls, ceilings, upholsteries Moist areas Dirty Footwear Occupants Insects, pest, rodents

12

SOURCE OF CO2

In an indoor environment human being exhale CO2

Carbon Dioxide cannot be filtered, adsorbed, reduced or oxidized.

Carbon Dioxide has to be neutralized with oxygen

13

These are collectively known as

“ SICK BUILDING SYNDROMES ”

14

• Headache, Reduced Concentration• Reduced Tolerance, Irritability, Restlessness• Eye Irritation, Eye watering • Asthma, Nose & Throat Irritation, Cold & Cough• Increased Heart Rate, Elevated Blood Pressure• Verity of Allergies, General Fatigue, Sweating,

Lethargy

Sick Building Syndromes are

15

Reduce VOCReduce / Remove Odor

Reduce / Eliminate Fungus, MoldReduce / Eliminate Airborne Bacteria & Viruses

Lower / Maintain Carbon Dioxide levels

TO ADDRESS “SBS”

16

To reduce Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) &

Enhance Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Outdoor Fresh air is taken by AHU System

CONVENTIONAL SOLUTION

Role of Fresh Air

Oxygen in fresh air is Oxidizing agent; 75% of Oxygen in fresh air is consumed for Oxidation

25% of Oxygen in fresh air is consumed to neutralize CO₂

18

Structure of fungi, mold, airborne bacteria & virusesFungi is Hydro Carbon mass with hard protein shell. Its outer Shell is a porous membrane. O2 in fresh air reaches inner hydro carbon mass by the process of osmosis. With this cell metabolism splits it to 2 or more cells. This sets in

the process of fungi multiplication

Controlled Injection Of “ Medical grade Ozone ”

in AHU System

Chemtronics SOLUTION

21

VOC & Odor :

Ozone is more powerful oxidizing agent then Oxygen; Thus VOCs , Odor & pollutants are

efficiently oxidized

& 60 – 70 % of oxygen in fresh air is

conserved.

Advantages of Ozone Injection

Fungi & Mold :

Ozone (Even in low concentration), interferes with the process of cell metabolism. This Retards the Process of Fungi & mold multiplication. Over the

period of time, Fungi & microbes Colony Depletes

Reaching Near Total Elimination

22


23

Airborne Bacteria & Viruses :

Ozone kills (Oxidizes) bacteria & Viruses almost instantly. Also fungi in ducts & coil Provide Food & Nutrients for Air

Borne Bacteria to Grow & Propagate; Ducts, Coil, AHU are Breeding Grounds for Bacteria, When Mold & Fungi Are

Eliminated, Food & Nutrients to Air Borne Bacteria & viruses is Deprived

Results in Dramatic Reduction in Air Borne Bacteria


24

Dust (SPM) :

For Any Object (dust / suspended particulate matter) to Adhere, Force of Adhesion is Necessary. In AC Duct, Air Travels at Velocity of 1200 to 1500 FPM (365 to 450 M/Min). There Should be Compelling Reason for Dust to Depart this high Velocity Stream and Adhere to Duct Surface. This is Due To Bio Adhesive Force Provided by Fungi

Results in Reduction in Suspended Particulate matters


25

Carbon Dioxide :

When 60 – 70 % of oxygen in fresh air is conserved using ozone injection in AHU. More oxygen is now

available to neutralize carbon dioxide.

This lowers CO₂ levels very significantly.


26

These multiple effects of Ozone brings “ Freshness in the closed

environment ”

Completely Eliminates“ SICK BUILDING SYNDROME ”

& Greatly Enhances “ Indoor Air Quality ”
