Moisture, Mould, and Indoor Air Safety: How AIRsteril Supports Occupational Hygiene
H1: Why Moisture Detection is Crucial
Moisture is the main driver of mould growth in buildings. Occupational Hygienists use handheld moisture meters to identify elevated moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings — often before mould becomes visible. Early detection is key to protecting building occupants.
H2: Exposure Risks Don’t Stop at Visible Mould
Even after moisture is detected, airborne mould spores, microbial fragments, and odours can remain while repairs and remediation are underway. These exposures can affect occupants and workers, especially in occupied buildings.
H2: How AIRsteril Helps Reduce Exposure
AIRsteril uses hydroxyl and ion technology — naturally found in the environment — to continuously treat air and exposed surfaces. Benefits include:
- Reduction of airborne mould spores and bioaerosols
- Breakdown of odour-causing compounds and microbial VOCs
- Lower cross-contamination risk during remediation
H2: What AIRsteril Does NOT Do
- Replace moisture mapping or inspections
- Fix leaks or structural defects
- Substitute for professional mould remediation
AIRsteril is an engineering control, not a cure — helping reduce exposure while moisture sources are being addressed.
H2: Integrating AIRsteril into Occupational Hygiene Practice
Used alongside moisture meters, air sampling, and remediation protocols, AIRsteril provides:
- An extra layer of protection for occupants and workers
- Improved environmental control in high-risk spaces
- Support for safer indoor environments while the root cause of moisture is resolved
Conclusion:
Moisture meters find the risk. AIRsteril helps manage exposure. Together, they support safer, healthier indoor spaces during investigation and remediation.
