Introduction

This website is created for indoor air monitoring project for Kendeda building. The following substance concentration will show in the website.

CO2
- Higher concentrations of Carbon Dioxide can affect respiratory function and cause excitation followed by depression of the central nervous system. A high concentration can displace oxygen in the air.
O3
- When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts of ozone can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and, throat irritation. It may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma as well as compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections.
PM 2.5 and PM 10
- PM2.5 are tiny particles in the air that reduce visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when levels are elevated. These fine particles can get deep into lungs and some may even get into the bloodstream. Exposure to these particles can affect a person's lungs and heart.
TVOC
- TVOC is a grouping of a wide range of organic chemical compounds to simplify reporting when these are present in ambient air or emissions. Paints, varnishes and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, degreasing and hobby products. Expose to high concentration of VOC may cause health effects such as eye, nose and throat irritation,hadaches, damage to liver, kidney and central nervous system
