Causes

The contributing factors often relate to the design of the built environment, and may include combinations of some or all of the following:

• Indoor air pollution
• Toxic mold
• Artificial fragrance, such as dryer sheets
• Poor or inappropriate lighting (including absence of or only limited access to natural sunlight)
• Poor heating or ventilation
• Microbial or mite contamination of HVAC systems.
• Bad acoustics
• Poorly designed furnishings, furniture and equipment (e.g. computer monitors, photocopiers, etc.).
• Poor ergonomics.
• Chemical contamination.
• Biological contamination.

While we are all correctly being urged to make our places of work more energy efficient to help reduce global warming, we do not realise that our offices have become the perfect microenvironment for pollution and indoor allergens.  The  humble Dust mite faeces is the biggest cause of respiratory illness , ranging from a simple runny nose, sore eyes tickly throat- to Ashma Rhinitus and eczema. While it is true that not all the above conditions can be atributed to poorly maintained carpeting or furnishings, it is a known factor that correct cleaning and maintenance carried out periodically can only improve overall health

But now the good news is carpets and soft furnishings act like a great big filter trapping many of these nasty airborne allergens and impurities until they are cleaned and safely removed. On average carpets should be cleaned every three to six months periodical to get the most benefit.
