Shopping Malls

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.
