Indoor Air Quality Assessment in London Office Space

Sysco Environmental conducted an indoor air quality (IAQ) assessment in July 2024 at a two-story commercial property in London. The ground floor office space, which had been unoccupied for two years, was the focus of the evaluation. The assessment aimed to determine if the property was affected by any microbiological or chemical contaminants that could impact air quality. The investigation involved a comprehensive analysis of various air quality parameters, including airborne moulds, bacteria, formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter. Samples were collected from different rooms and compared to outdoor air samples to establish baseline measurements.
Overall, the results painted a positive picture of the indoor air quality in the office space. Fungal spore concentrations indoors were significantly lower than outdoor levels, indicating good air filtration. Chemical contaminants, including formaldehyde and VOCs, were well below recommended limits. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide levels were also within acceptable ranges, suggesting adequate ventilation.
The assessment concluded that the indoor air quality in the property could be described as good in terms of both biological and chemical contaminants. No significant sources of contamination were identified that could potentially cause adverse health effects. The report recommended maintaining current air quality management practices and suggested minor improvements to enhance comfort, such as humidity control through the use of plants or humidifiers.
This thorough evaluation provides valuable insights into the air quality of the office space, offering reassurance about its suitability for future occupancy.

Indoor Air Quality Assessment at London Veterinary Clinic

We recently conducted an indoor air quality assessment at a veterinary clinic in London, focusing on a storage room in the basement. The aim was to evaluate the air quality regarding biological and chemical contaminants, ensuring a healthy environment for staff and animals.

We tested for airborne fungi, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter. The results were reassuring, showing good air quality overall. The levels of carbon monoxide and VOCs were well below the safety limits, indicating no significant risk. Airborne fungal spores were also found to be lower indoors compared to the outdoor environment, suggesting no indoor contamination sources.

However, we did detect some surface colonisation by Aspergillus mould in the storage room. We recommended maintaining constant temperature and humidity levels, possibly using a humidifier or introducing house plants to improve air quality further. Regular cleaning and ventilation should keep the air quality within safe limits.

Overall, the clinic's indoor air quality is good, with minimal risk from contaminants, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

Indoor Air Quality Investigation In London Office

At Sysco Environmental Ltd, we recently conducted an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) survey in London, aimed at ensuring a safe and healthy environment for the occupants. Our investigation focused on identifying potential sources of indoor air contaminants, assessing ventilation efficiency, and measuring various airborne pollutants. Throughout the survey, we thoroughly examined multiple factors that could impact air quality, including biological contaminants, chemical pollutants, and particulate matter.
 
Our findings revealed that the indoor air quality in this London office building is generally good, with most areas meeting the established safety standards. However, we identified a few spots with slightly elevated levels of airborne bacteria and carbon dioxide, suggesting a need for improved ventilation in those specific areas. These insights are crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment, as they help pinpoint areas where enhancements can be made.
