Air Quality Monitoring in Ireland

Air quality monitoring is important for several reasons. First, monitoring your air quality is important for the health of your employees. Air pollution can have many different effects on your employee's health, depending on what they are exposed to. Headaches, allergies, lung cancer, mental fatigue, and difficulty concentrating are some of the potential effects of poor air quality. These symptoms can affect your employee’s productivity, as well as carry long term health risks.


There are also laws and regulations regarding air quality. Companies are expected to be proactive, and monitor and manage air quality. They should implement any necessary steps to preserve the quality of the air, as well as report any problems. This type of monitoring requires special equipment and training.



Common air quality issues include fumes from air conditioning or ventilation systems, humidity, and extreme temperature. Biological contaminants like mould and bacteria or volatile organic compounds can also cause harm for your employees. Chemical contaminants arise from things like cleaning fluids and carpeting. Dust and vapours can also be the result of processes such as soldering or sanding.


OHSS will create a monitoring program tailor made for your needs. In addition to testing the air for contaminants, we help prevent and correct any problems that may arise. We will check for mould growth, and conduct samples and tests of the air. We will conduct on site air quality monitoring, determine the extent of any problems, and give you reports and recommendations. We can help you keep your employees safe and comply with all laws and regulations.
