Major Air Pollutants
Retail stores and large shopping malls are packed, fully enclosed spaces that need a steady flow of fresh air. Heavy crowds and poor ventilation can quickly spoil indoor air quality. Depending on how busy the store gets, the air quality can drop fast. So you need to track your air quality at all times and act quickly to stop bad air episodes before they spoil the shopping experience.
PM2.5
Fine and ultra-fine dust and tiny water droplets that float in the air.
CO2
When store crowds grow, the breathing of many people can make CO2 levels build up.
TVOC
Harsh cleaning chemicals and strong room fresheners can push up indoor TVOC levels sharply.
Noise
Large, loud crowds create a lot of noise and disturbance, which quickly cuts customer comfort.
Odour
Sweaty crowds and stale, forgotten food can quickly give off bad odours throughout the store.
Microbial Pollutants
Because retail shops are tightly enclosed spaces, biological germs can spread very quickly.
PM2.5
Fine particles can pass into the bloodstream and are linked to serious lung and heart diseases.
CO2
High CO2 can cause brain fog, deep fatigue, and a feeling of suffocation or stuffiness.
Noise
Constant store noise can bring on headaches and is linked to spikes in blood pressure over time.
Microbial Pollutants
Breathing in these germs can lead to bouts of coughing, colds, and flu across the store.
Odour
Bad smells can spoil the shopping comfort of both staff and visiting customers in the store.
TVOC
Breathing in TVOCs can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, and may also bring on nausea.
Who is at Risk?
As crowds pack into your retail stores and the air conditioning struggles to keep up, the air can quickly become very stuffy. This can also expose your hard-working staff and paying customers to high levels of PM2.5 dust and TVOC gases.
Customers
Shoppers often report side effects such as nausea, discomfort, and sharp headaches.
Customer Service Reps
Staff can suffer from a loss of focus, poor coordination, and symptoms such as dizzy spells.
Cashiers
Cashiers can lose attention quickly and face a higher risk of catching respiratory infections over time.
Store Managers
Every single person inside the store, managers included, can suffer the effects of bad air.
