Health and Safety
The inter connectedness of life on earth means that
nothing we put into the ecosystem simply disappears. In other word
Why
Environmental Health Matters?
The human body is mostly water – up
to 70% water, in fact. Add that to the reality that only 2.5% of water on the
planet is drinkable and it becomes clear why protecting our water supply is so
important. Although the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts are meant to
keep toxins out of our water, many still slip by both our policy safeguards and
our physical filtration systems. Currently, many of the protections America put
in place to ensure clean, safe water are under threat. Fracking for natural
gas, which has contaminated groundwater, has led to health problems in
communities where those resources are being extracted. Polluted runoff from
cities and farms flows into the rivers we draw much of our drinking water from
and ends up in our bodies.
Motor vehicle and industrial
emissions impact human health too, as these sources contain dangerous
pollutants like mercury and sulfur dioxide. The American Lung Association found
that too many live in areas that have
unhealthy levels of air pollution and are at risk of illnesses like lung
and heart disease, cancer, and asthma. Rising global temperatures from climate
change worsen pollution. Indoor air can be dangerous as well, given the
presence of chemicals from building materials, household products and mold.
Illnesses caused by air pollution keep children out of school and adults out of
work and lead to an estimated 35,700 premature deaths in the U.S. per year.
Over
the Diwali weekend of 2016, India’s air quality was among the world’s worst and
between 40% and 100% worse in five north Indian cities than at the same time
the preceding year, according to global air pollution data and an IndiaSpend
analysis of national data and our #Breathe network of sensors

PM
2.5 is fine particulate matter about 30 times finer than a human hair. These
particles can be inhaled deep into the lungs, causing heart attacks, strokes,
lung cancer and respiratory diseases, and are known to pose the greatest risk
to human health. Their measurement is considered to be the best indicator of
the level of health risks from air pollution, according to the World Health
Organization (WHO).
In
such situation it becomes very important to regularly monitor the air quality
near us. Our company has wide ranges of products which can be used for
monitoring air quality Indoor as well as outdoor. These instruments can be used
for household as well as industrial application. As per CPCB (central pollution
control board) it has become mandatory to monitor and maintain industrial
pollutions thus our company provides the instrument which will continuously
monitors the Industrial air quality and provide the data live on pollution
board websites. Following are the our health and safety and environment related
instruments,
