Chemical VOC Scents: A Hidden Threat to Workplace Health and Safety
Impact on Workplace Health and Safety
Allergic reactions in the workplace not only affect individual health but also have broader implications for overall workplace safety. Employers are obligated under health and safety regulations to provide a safe working environment, which includes mitigating exposure to known allergens.
Limitations of Chemical Air Fresheners
While chemical air fresheners are commonly used to mask unpleasant odors, they can contribute to indoor air pollution. Many of these products release VOCs and other chemicals that may exacerbate allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Instead of improving air quality, they might introduce new irritants, conflicting with workplace health and safety goals.
WORKPLACE AIR QUALITY SOLUTION
Corona discharge technology is an effective method for air odor and contaminant control.
▪ Ionization: The process begins when a high voltage is applied to a specially designed electrode, creating a strong electric field that ionizes the surrounding air. This ionization causes air molecules to lose or gain electrons, resulting in the formation of positive ions and free electrons.
▪ Corona Effect: The ionized air, referred to as "corona," creates a discharge that neutralizes unpleasant odors and breaks down harmful contaminants. The corona effect is perfectly safe when used indoors making it an effective odor control solution for those with scent allergies.

The Climate Action Standard is a comprehensive framework designed to guide organizations toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by utilizing up-to-date carbon protocols such as ISO 14064. This standard emphasizes the importance of considering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions— which include direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, indirect emissions from purchased energy, and all other indirect emissions occurring in a company's value chain—when establishing carbon reduction strategies. Products or services displaying the Climate Action Standard logo have been third-party certified and meet all the qualifications to claim "Carbon NetZero," ensuring that they adhere to the highest standards of environmental responsibility and sustainability.
