The majority of the world’s population breathes air that is harmful, according to a major new study. The State of Global Air report, released in April 2018 by the Health Effects Institute, estimates that 95% of people around the globe live in areas where concentrations of fine particulate matter, such as dust or soot particles in the air, exceed the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guideline of 10 micrograms per cubic metre of air (µg/m3).

When most people think of air pollution, they picture smog and traffic fumes, but did you know that indoor air quality can often be worse than outdoor air quality? Given that the majority of us now spend most of our time indoors, improving indoor quality can have a dramatic effect on our health and our quality of life.

There are many benefits to be gained by installing a ventilation system in your home. Home ventilation refers to the process of moving air around, so that it is changed or replaced in different spaces, improving the quality of indoor air. Almost every home in the UK will have some form of ventilation, even if this is just in the form of air bricks, which are often neglected, covered up, or are not adequate to cope with today’s living. Modern ventilation systems often use mechanical elements and offer a whole-house approach.

According to Universities UK, over 2 million students were studying at UK higher education institutes in 2016-17. There are many common concerns for students with rented student accommodation including unpaid bills or rent, getting deposits back at the end of the tenancy and dealing with house repairs. A common problem that students come across in rented accommodation is mould. This tends to be a significant issue within student properties due to the number of individuals living in the same property and because the majority of the time the accommodation remains occupied by the tenant.

Leading UK designer & manufacturer of ventilation systems EnviroVent has created a dedicated MVHR showroom at its training centre in Harrogate to showcase MVHR installation.

Pollution can damage children's health even contributing to asthma but did you know indoor air pollutants are just as harmful? Everyone knows about outdoor air pollution and the harmful effects of particulate matter from such things as car exhausts, but the dangers from indoor air pollution can be equally harmful, especially for households with children.

Poor indoor air quality is a growing problem in UK homes, where a recent survey revealed that 20% of householders reported that they experienced condensation and mould growth in the home.

Over 200 members of staff from EnviroVent took part in twelve community projects in the Harrogate area as part of their local 'In It Together' community day.

EnviroVent has been awarded a significant contract by Bolsover District Council to improve air quality for 138 council owned properties in Bolsover, Derbyshire.

EnviroVent has responded to a strong market demand for a ‘smart’ way to control ventilation by making its app available for energisava 250 and 380 MVHR systems.

EnviroVent has announced that its ventilation training centre has now become a fully accredited NICEIC Approved Assessment Training Centre.

The UK’s leading ventilation manufacturer EnviroVent is marking Allergy Awareness Week (24th to 30th April) by revealing some startling facts about allergies in the home.
