Monitor and act on key environmental parameters

To ensure health, comfort, and safety within your facilities

Whether you manage schools, hospitals, offices, or shopping centers, you face significant challenges in maintaining air quality. Your facilities, with their diverse range of equipment and materials—such as cleaning products, HVAC systems, medical chemicals, and construction materials—are sources of various emissions. These include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fine particulates, gases like CO2, CO, and NOx, as well as airborne pathogens. Odors, which often signal underlying issues, also affect indoor air quality, even in less visible areas like restrooms and corridors, where stringent cleanliness and safety standards are crucial.

Ellona offers a comprehensive solution to t

hese challenges. We provide advanced expertise in detecting and quantifying both odor and environmental nuisances, and in analyzing physico-chemical footprints and environmental signatures. Our state-of-the-art technologies deliver continuous monitoring of gas emissions, particulate matter, noise, and odors, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable environment for your occupants.

Our systems are designed to quickly identify anomalies, allowing you to implement proactive measures and corrective actions as needed.

Examples of KPIs for facilities using Ellona solutions

Complex emission sources that we address

Establishments and public venues, such as schools, hospitals, offices, and shopping centers, face a range of complex atmospheric emissions:

  • Cleaning products: Essential for maintaining cleanliness, these often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals that are released into the air during use, contributing to indoor pollution.
  • Office equipment: Devices like printers, copiers, and electronics emit fine particles and VOCs during operation, which can degrade air quality and affect occupant health.
  • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems: Crucial for regulating indoor climate and air quality, these systems can also emit gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) if not properly maintained.
  • Healthcare chemicals: Healthcare facilities use various chemicals, including disinfectants, sterilizers, and pharmaceuticals, which can release harmful substances into the air.
  • Construction and renovation materials: Materials like paints, adhesives, flooring, and insulation can emit VOCs and other chemicals both during and after installation, potentially affecting indoor air quality over time.
  • Airborne pathogens and odors: Alongside chemical pollutants, establishments must also manage airborne pathogens and odors, which can signal underlying issues with hygiene or ventilation.

Effective management of these emission sources is vital for maintaining a safe, healthy indoor environment. At Ellona, we are dedicated to identifying, quantifying, and managing these emissions, ensuring that all types of establishments remain welcoming, healthy, and productive spaces.

Regulatory standards for establishments and public venues

To ensure optimal indoor air quality in facilities and public venues, it is essential to consider not only concentrations of chemical pollutants but also other parameters such as humidity and noise levels. Here are the typical recommended values for these various parameters:

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):
    • Recommended Limit: Less than 300 μg/m³ for total VOCs in indoor air, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations.
  • NO₂:
    • Short-term Exposure (1 hour): Often between 100 to 200 µg/m³ according to local regulations.
    • Long-term Exposure (1 year): Around 40 to 50 µg/m³ on average..
  • CO:
    • Short-term Exposure (8 hours): Standard generally below 10 mg/m³ (or 8.7 ppm) to protect against acute toxic effects.
    • Long-term Exposure (1 year): Standard often set at 1 to 5 mg/m³ (or 0.9 to 4.4 ppm) on an annual average to protect long-term health.
  • CO₂ :
     Recommendation: Keep CO₂ levels below 1000 ppm to ensure proper air ventilation.
  • Fine Particles (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀):
     Recommended limit: In Europe, the annual average concentration of PM₁₀ should not exceed 40 µg/m³, and for PM₂.₅, the standard is 25 µg/m³ on an annual average basis, according to European Directive 2008/50/EC.
  • Relative humidity:
    • Recommendation: Maintain relative humidity between 40% and 60% to prevent mold growth and ensure occupant comfort.
  • Noise levels:
    • Recommendation: Noise levels should be kept below 35 dB(A) in areas where high concentration is required, such as work zones.
