Types of Ventilation

Children aged 1- 3 years may breathe 20 - 30 times per minute, whereas older children and adults can breathe 12 - 20 times per minute, so children are exposed to more risk than adults. As breathing is continuous process, we need to ensure our children are living in a space with good indoor air quality.

The Dubai Municipality regulates the IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) with the stipulation of less than 0.08 ppm (parts per million) of formaldehyde, less than 300 micrograms/m3 of TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compound), and less than 150 micrograms/m3 of suspended particulates (less than 10 microns) in 8 h of continuous monitoring prior to occupancy. These IAQ standards need to be continuously adhered in a stringent manner, but as lack of ventilation due to continuous air conditioning and indiscriminate use of unproven finishing materials have increased, indoor air quality deteriorates day by day, threatening the health of residents. Exposure to polluted air in the long term can lead residents to lowered immunity, respiratory ailments, hypersensitivity, allergies and susceptibility to viruses.

What is Formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling chemical that is used in building materials and to produce many household products.

The general public may be exposed to formaldehyde by breathing contaminated air from sources such as pressed-wood products, tobacco smoke, and automobile tailpipe emissions. Another potential source of exposure to formaldehyde is the use of unvented fuel-burning appliances, such as gas stoves, wood-burning stoves, and kerosene heaters.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends the use of “exterior-grade” pressed-wood products to limit formaldehyde exposure in the home. Formaldehyde levels in homes and work settings can also be reduced by ensuring adequate ventilation, moderate temperatures, and reduced humidity levels through the use of air conditioners and dehumidifiers.
