Air pollution has spiked, how can GroupL
Services help you
In India, human
health and safety problems caused by air pollution are becoming increasingly
serious.
According
to ICMR and PHFI study, air pollution led to over 2,750 cases of deaths or severe
illnesses per lakh people in 2016. Leading causes of illness were
non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease and respiratory
infections.
Over the
past month, North India has been covered by thick smog. There are several
factors that contribute to the spike in outdoor air pollution at this time of
the year.
The severely high level of outdoor air pollution combines with indoor air pollution creating
a modern work hazard that deserves attention. Employees
spend an average of 8 hours a day at work. Poor quality of air affects workers,
causing various symptoms including allergic reactions, physical and mental
fatigue, headaches, eye and throat irritation. This in turn reduces
productivity and increases absenteeism at work.
Indoor air
pollution is generated by poor ventilation. The use of office equipment and
machines which emit pollutants like carbon monoxide that are harmful. Cleaning
products using pesticides and harmful chemicals. Dust from construction. Mould and bacteria in office
furnishings like blinds and carpets, ceiling panels etc.
