Table of Contents

Initiated by a group of researchers, World Ventil8 Day is celebrated annually on November 8. The aim of the event is to raise awareness about the role of ventilation in indoor spaces. It highlights how proper ventilation improves indoor air quality by diluting the concentration of airborne viruses and bacteria. Additionally, the day highlights the connection between indoor air quality and physical and mental health. This year’s theme, #EnablingAction, focuses on actionable measures for enhancing ventilation in workplaces, schools, homes, workplaces, and social spaces.

The initiative is crucial as it addresses a pressing concern of recent times: indoor air quality. The emergence of the coronavirus has highlighted the importance of enhancing indoor air quality and the role of ventilation in achieving it. Good ventilation helps dilute contaminants, airborne pollutants, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), thereby improving physical health. It eliminates allergens and bacteria that can damage respiratory function and helps control humidity levels.

What is World Ventil8 Day?

Held on November 8, the global initiative is aimed at raising awareness about ventilation. It promotes collaboration between researchers, scientists and industry professionals to spread the word to the public and discuss solutions. The event has received recognition through its events, workshops and targeted campaigns.

Why is Ventilation Important?

People often overlooked the importance of good ventilation in indoor spaces until COVID-19 brought the world to a halt. Before the global health crisis, we typically took ventilation only as an afterthought.

Poor ventilation increases the risk of exposure to airborne viruses, allergens, and dust, leading to health-related issues such as acute and chronic lung illnesses. Improved ventilation not only protects us from infectious bacteria but also contributes to a sustainable future through the use of technology. Here are a few key facts that indicate the positive impact of well-ventilated environments:

  • A 2013 study conducted in California elementary schools found that higher ventilation rates in classrooms led to lower absenteeism among students
  • Research on a nursing home showed that good ventilation is associated with a reduced rate of respiratory illnesses among staff members
  • A 2015 study indicated that increased ventilation resulted in better sleep quality and good performance the next day

How Should You Ventilate Your Indoor Space?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are several do-it-yourself tips you can implement to improve ventilation and indoor air quality. Using as many as you want in combination will make a noticeable difference. Let’s go through them briefly.

 

Open Windows and Doors

Open multiple doors and windows so that fresh air can circulate in your room and dilute the concentration and stuffiness. The better the circulation of outdoor air in indoor spaces, the better the ventilation. However, if doing so is unsafe, opt for alternate actions, such as using a fan.

 

Use Fans for Improved Airflow

Use a fan for better airflow, as it will blow virus particles and stuffy air out the window. It is better to go for ceiling fans because they give out balanced airflow. However, if you are using stand fans, point them in the other direction to prevent direct exposure to viruses.

 

Install a Portable HEPA Air Purifier

Installing a portable air cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter is an effective way to enhance indoor air quality. HEPA filters are high-efficiency filters designed to capture harmful viruses, pollutants, and particulate matter.

In contrast, the Pure Air Shield 3300 is equipped with a main HEPA 14 filter and a pre-filter, effectively reducing the presence of aerosols and contaminants in the indoor environment.
