Sisäilmatutkimusten

Sisäilmatutkimusten refers to indoor air quality investigations in Finland. These investigations are conducted to identify and assess potential health risks associated with the indoor environment of buildings. Factors that can affect indoor air quality include moisture, mold, dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and inadequate ventilation. The primary goal of sisäilmatutkimukset is to ensure a healthy and safe living or working environment for occupants.

The process typically begins with a visual inspection of the building and interviews with occupants to gather information about perceived problems. This is often followed by measurements of various parameters. Common measurements include humidity levels, temperature, carbon dioxide concentrations (as an indicator of ventilation effectiveness), and the presence of certain pollutants. Sampling of building materials may also be performed to identify mold or other contaminants.

Based on the findings, a report is generated detailing the identified issues and recommending corrective actions. These actions can range from improving ventilation systems and repairing moisture damage to cleaning and source control of pollutants. Sisäilmatutkimusten are crucial for preventing and addressing health problems such as allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues that can be linked to poor indoor air quality. Building owners and occupants often initiate these investigations when experiencing symptoms or noticing signs of indoor air problems.
