Odor Removal
 |
Air Laden with odors, bacteria, impurities, etc., does not provide the fresh air sensation to occupants. However, using fresh make-up air is not always the solution to this phenomenon, as some fresh air taken in has more impurities than the indoor air being treated. Indoor Air Quality is a current problem often associated with high efficiency building designs. Buildings typically conserve energy by being more airtight, thus reducing the heating and cooling requirements, but resulting in less fresh or make up air. This is a simple description that can lead to the “sick building syndrome” phenomenon.
Additional problems with indoor air quality are tobacco smoke, fire/smoke, process odors, body odors from workers or athletic endeavors, pet odors, etc. Organic odors are unpleasant and result in stale stuffy air. Fresh air is necessary, but is not always available from make-up air due to energy design, or outdoor air quality. Many studies have advocated that people need fresh air. Poor air quality affects people in ways such as attitude, productivity, absenteeism, sickness. Clean healthy air makes people work well and feel a lot happier.
What can McMahon’s do to improve
air quality? The first step is with air filters that are designed for
removing some of the particulate that will be carried by air. Possibly,
Duct Cleaning is the second step for removing odor-causing dust, mold,
mildew, etc. which may have built up in the duct system. The third line
of defense is ozone treatment of the air to destroy the odors and many
of the bacteria, as well as deodorizing the air. Ozone deodorizing by
chemically reducing the odors to lesser compounds.
Offices, factories, warehouses, health clubs, casinos, bars, laboratories,
schools, libraries, kitchens, restrooms, conference rooms, etc., all
may need McMahon’s Cleaning and Restoration to purify the air.
