QUALITY ANALYSIS
BREATH HEALTHLY. INDOOR AIR QUALITY
We identify invisible threats and create healthy spaces
that are free of pathogens, radon gas and contaminants
for your well-being and that of your family.
Critical parameters that we analyse
The science behind clean air. We accurately measure invisible factors that affect your daily health.
Optimum relative humidity.
Balance is key. Maintain levels between 40-60% to prevent mould growth and avoid dryness of the respiratory mucosa.
√ Mould prevention.
√ Thermal comfort.
PATHOGEN CONTROL
Identification and neutralisation of airborne biological agents: viruses, bacteria and fungal spores that cause respiratory diseases.
√ Microbiological analysis.
√ HEPA filtration.
RADON GAS MITIGATION
Radon is a naturally occurring, odourless, invisible radioactive gas. We carry out precise measurements to detect dangerous accumulations from the subsoil.
√ Certified measurements.
√ Sealing strategies.
INVISIBLE RISKS
How does poor air quality affect your health?
We spend 90% of our time indoors. The concentration of pollutants in enclosed spaces can be up to five times higher than outdoors, causing “Sick Building Syndrome”.
⊗ Fatigue and headaches
High levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) reduce oxygenation, which can lead to chronic fatigue.
⊗ Allergies and asthma
Asthma attacks can be triggered by allergens such as dust mites, mould and pet dander.
Our science-based approach
We apply rigorous protocols from detection to resolution to ensure a pure environment.
1· INITIAL AUDIT
Visual inspection and assessment of potential risks in the structure.
2· TECHNICAL MEASUREMENT
Use calibrated sensors to record real-time pollutant data.
3· DATA ANALYSIS
Interpretation of results compared with WHO standards.
4· SOLUTIONS
Implementation of purifiers, ventilation and customised filters.
THE BIOWELLNESS METHODOLOGY

√ Concentration of formaldehyde in the air
√ Concentration of carbon monoxide in the air
√ Recalculation of particle mass and display of HCHO and CO in mg per m³ of air
√ Filtering efficiency
√ Relative air humidity
√ Air temperature
√ Dew point temperature
√ Wet bulb temperature.

How long does an air quality consultation take?
The duration of an air quality measurement consultation depends on several factors.
The size and complexity of the space to be measured: For example, a large house or a house with several floors will require more time than a small flat.
Environmental conditions: The presence of basements, garages, attics, etc. may increase the consultation time.
The scope of the measurement: If you only want to measure air quality, the consultation will be quicker than if you want to consider other factors such as electromagnetic radiation, radon gas or water quality.
In general, a consultation for measuring air quality can take between one and three hours. If pathogens are found in the air, it is advisable to carry out more rigorous studies to try to eliminate their source.
I have been diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). Should I take any additional measures?
Those diagnosed with MCS are often predisposed to hypersensitivity to electromagnetic radiation. It is therefore recommended that you measure the levels of electromagnetic radiation in your home to ensure they are within acceptable limits.
If radiation levels are high, a comprehensive plan can be developed to reduce exposure. This may include measures such as:
√ Relocating electrical appliances and electronic devices.
√ Using electromagnetic radiation filters.
√ spending more time outdoors.
I have been diagnosed with asthma and other respiratory conditions. Could you recommend a model that does not circulate air?
Some air purifiers use technologies such as ionisation or photocatalysis to clean the air without producing air currents.
However, natural ventilation is still one of the most important ways to maintain good air quality at home or at work. It is therefore recommended that you open the windows regularly to allow fresh air in.
How often should I take measurements?
If there are no significant changes to the environment, there is no need to frequently repeat air quality measurements.
Exceptions:
In the case of radon gas: It is recommended to take an annual measurement (When 100 Bq appears in measurements), as its levels can vary over time.
In the case of intense contamination by mould or other toxic agents: Periodic measurements are recommended to monitor the situation and evaluate the effectiveness of remediation measures.
It is generally recommended to measure air quality whenever significant changes are made to the environment, such as renovations or moving to a new home.
If you experience symptoms such as eye, throat or mucous membrane irritation, coughing, headaches or fatigue, it is advisable to measure the air quality to rule out a link with the air quality in your home.
What are volatile organic compounds (VOCs)?
These are chemical substances that contain carbon and are found in all living things. VOCs easily turn into vapours or gases. As well as carbon, they contain other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, sulphur and nitrogen.
VOCs are released when fuels such as petrol, wood, coal or natural gas are burned. They are also emitted by solvents, paints and other products used and stored in homes and workplaces.
Some examples of VOCs are:
Natural: isoprene, pinene and limonene.
Artificial: benzene, toluene and nitrobenzene.
Other VOCs include formaldehyde, chlorobenzene and solvents such as toluene, xylene, acetone and tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene), which is the main solvent used in the dry cleaning industry.
