Lindab takes another step towards reducing the climate impact of its products by extending the standard product range with ventilation ducts in 75 per cent recycled steel, resulting in a 62 per cent reduction in climate impact. Lindab receives its recycled steel from ArcelorMittal's steel mill in Europe and has ongoing dialogues with other steel suppliers.
Temperature is an important part of the indoor climate when it comes to comfort and productivity. And to feel comfortable is a prerequisite for performing without hindrance. Both high and low temperatures can affect mental ability, work capacity, strength and mobility. This in turn can affect the frequency of accidents, work performance and comfort.
Volatile Organic Compounds or carbon-based chemicals are emitted as gases from solids or liquids. There are thousands of different gases produced from products like paint and perfume, but also generated from activities such as cooking and smoking. If exposed to VOCs, possible short-term symptoms and health effects may include headache, cough and dizziness as well as throat and skin irritation.
Lindab and Tata Steel Nederland announce to have entered a memorandum of understanding to supply Zeremis® green steel once the IJmuiden steelworks transitions to hydrogen-based steel production.
Relative humidity is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount of vapor that can exist in the air at its current temperature. Both too much or too little relative humidity can cause discomfort. If you have really high humidity levels you may want to check your pipes and plumbing for water leaks. The optimal RH-level is between 40-60%.
Airborne particles are a form of air pollution, a piece of solid or liquid matter that floats in the air around us. Their ability to get stuck in the body and form depots depends on their size and whether they can pass through the mucous membranes of the airways. Some can enter the bloodstream and spread to other organs. A ventilation system can remove a majority of the particles from outside.
How does carbon dioxide indoors affect us, what is the recommended levels and how can we reduce too high levels? All of this and much more in the latest post in our blog series about good indoor air.
