Many people favor to spend their time in shopping malls. Good indoor air quality
is, therefore, very essential to shoppers. The number of shopping malls
contributes to increase bad indoor air quality. Unlike the popular perception
that an enclosed air conditioned zone is free of all pollutants and dirt, it has
been discovered that indoor air is more polluted than the outdoor air and is
amongst the top five environmental risks as listed by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency.
The indoor air pollutants included carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon
monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbons (THC), formaldehyde (HCHO), respirable
particulate matter (PM10) and total bacteria count (TBC). |
These malls do not offer the
occupants any control over their environment, ie
they cannot open windows if the store feels stuffy
and unaired. The only option us turn on the exhaust
fans, or leave the room, if the space is filled with
dust, tobacco smoke, fine carbon dust from copying
machines, etc. Also these malls have a particular
need to ensure that their premises are kept clean so
as to allow a soothing ambiance to shoppers.
These problems are associated with symptoms that are
particularly brought about by contamination of the
indoor environment, by the growth bacteria, fungi,
mold, viruses and mildew (collectively termed
micro-organisms) spread through the circulation of
air exhaled, as well as from food material, etc.
These pollutants may result in health problems like
irritation of eyes, blocked nose and throat,
headaches, dizziness, lethargy, fatigue etc.
Key Benefits Of Ozone
• Reduction of smoke and smoke
odors.
• Deodorization of stale alcohol odors.
• Oxidizes all other unpleasant odors.
• Deodorization and disinfection of bowling shoes.
• Eliminates bacteria, mold, mildew and fungus.
• Due to the strong oxidizing power of ozone it is
an extremely useful tool in the field of fire and
flood restoration. In a smoke and fire damaged
building ozone will eliminate smoke odors in the
carpets, curtains, wood, cupboards, clothing, etc.
• Ozone is effective for preventing the growth of
bacteria and mildew in a bathroom, as well as
neutralizing any unpleasant bathroom odors.
• Due to the strong oxidizing power of ozone it is
extremely useful for oxidizing and eliminating paint
fumes and odors directly after a room or building
have been painted.
• Odors and bacteria are significantly reduced by
ozone in washrooms. Noxious airborne chemicals and
surface bacteria cause unpleasant and harmful odors.
Ozone not only deodorizes washrooms effectively, it
also kills the germs than can lurk on surfaces such
as taps and toilets.
