Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has welcomed the Government’s Clean Air Strategy, launched on 14th January 2019, which highlights the importance of clean air in the home. The strategy sets out how the Government aims to tackle all sources of air pollution with indoor air quality (IAQ) a key part of this. As such, the document proposes a number of simple measures to reduce air pollutants in the home, including regularly ventilating dwellings. In addition, the strategy also outlines the Government’s ambitions to reduce outdoor air pollution to help make our air healthier to breathe.
Within the strategy the Government suggests a number of practical ways to reduce indoor air pollution from VOCs, including non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs). These include switching to lower VOC alternatives, such as unperfumed cleaning products. It also recommends ensuring homes are well ventilated to avoid the accumulation of emissions from multiple sources.
Confirming the importance of IAQ, the strategy also states that in spring 2019 the Government will be consulting on changes to Building Regulations standards Part F for ventilation in homes and other buildings, to help reduce the harmful build-up of indoor air pollutants. This Part F consultation and the resulting action on improving IAQ, could potentially be a significant development for the ventilation and construction industries.
