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? Find out how a whole-house approach to ventilation can alleviate indoor air pollution.

EnviroVent is celebrating after winning ‘Domestic Ventilation Product of the Year’ for its innovative ATMOS^® Range.

Most British homeowners are aware of at least some of the reasons why proper ventilation is crucial. The British climate is the most obvious: with year-round rain, it’s nearly impossible to prevent the build-up of moisture in buildings without a ventilation system in place. The English Housing Survey recently found that more than a million English homes have a damp problem: millions more regularly experience higher than optimal levels of moisture.

Ahead of this year’s event on 21 June, Global Action Plan, the organisation behind Clean Air Day, has launched a campaign highlighting the dangers of indoor air pollution. When thinking of air pollution, most of us probably think about traffic and industry belching out thick black fumes but indoor air pollution is an invisible danger.

Radon is a colourless, odourless radioactive gas. EnviroVent has created a quick overview to help explain what you can do to help reduce radon in the home.

Black mould has long been the curse of homeowners, appearing not just in bathrooms, but in bedrooms, behind furniture, around windows and even on floors and clothes. Far from just being an aesthetic problem, studies have shown that mould is bad for your health. So can natural cleaners like baking soda actually remove black mould?

Householders across the UK can now have their mind put at rest regarding indoor air quality as EnviroVent has partnered with Airtopia to offer indoor air quality testing.

When weighing up the correct ventilation systems for your home, you might wish to consider the advantage of a positive input ventilation system. This can help to circulate air around your home, helping to prevent problems such as damp, mould, and condensation, while also providing fresh air and scattering the build-up of pollutants.

It is important to be able to tell the difference between damp and condensation, whilst damp can be caused by condensation it can also be caused by rainwater seeping in, a problem with plumbing or an issue with drainage. Easily confused, rising damp and condensation are both things which you might find in your home. However, while one can be relatively easily remedied before too much harm is caused, the other will need more time and investment to banish it from your home.
