While
most of the people are generally conscious of the negative health outcomes of
pollution, what most of the people don’t know is how air quality also has an
impact on the productivity of workers.
A
study in National University of
Singapore acknowledged the other significant impact of air pollution: how
it affects the productivity of an organization in the first place.
The
findings suggest that companies might want to analyze their emissions control
equipment as well as HVAC filters Roseau as an important investment that
results in operational efficiency, instead of an expenditure to keep up with
government regulations.
To
understand empirically how indoor air
quality has an impact on the productivity of the employees working
specific shifts, the researchers monitored what percentage pieces of cloth each
worker made (they were purchased every finished piece). The researcher then
compared the amount of cloth pieces each worker produced per day to their
exposure to particulate over time.
It’s
also worth noting that measuring PM2.5 or fine particulate, which refers to
particles adequate to or but 2.5 microns, is that the standard method of
determining pollution levels.
The
researchers discovered that the daily particulate fluctuations weren't much to
affect the productivity of the factory workers.
However,
they found a very transparent drop in output while expanding the ground of
research: tracking exposure levels versus productivity over a 30-day period.
