Air Quality Matters for Businesses

For years, the issue of air pollution and climate change has lacked the attention and action of corporate leaders and business innovators. While the business world is gradually adapting to better align with corporate responsibility and the necessary intervention for our planet, there is still much to be done in terms of managing and monitoring air pollution in the business sector. Environmental companies, such as Gondwana, offer solutions that can make a real difference in adhering to government protocols and standards for air quality management.

Breathing Contaminants

Air pollution is caused by the release of particulates and gases into the atmosphere from various sources such as fuel combustion, agriculture, transportation, and solvent use. Every industry contributes to air pollution in some way, but it is the human-driven causes that we have the most control over. Our daily activities amplify the effects of pollutants and negatively impact air quality and our health.

Your Role in Climate Change

Businesses contribute to air pollution and climate change in several ways. The simple supply chain and day-to-day operations release harmful gases, use chemicals and solvents, generate dust from construction, and rely on non-eco-friendly energy sources. In addition, the approach and attitude towards the environment and pollution also play a crucial role in addressing air quality issues. With advancements in technology, air quality management has become a crucial standard for companies to meet.

Why Prioritize Air Pollution

Accessible data technology provides greater transparency into a company’s air quality and climate impact, making businesses more accountable to their market and the environment. Air pollution also costs the global economy billions of dollars each year, affecting business productivity through sick days and negative impact on cognitive performance. Some industries, such as agriculture and tourism, suffer even more specific consequences from air pollution, such as reduced crop yields and decreased production of electricity from solar panels.
