2 Case Study of Pollutants SICK BUILDING SYNDROME FUNGI/ MOLDING ISSUES POOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY
3 Case Study of Pollutants REPORTS ON SICK BUILDING SYNDROME
4 Case Study of Pollutants in IMR CAUSES OF SICK BUILDING SYNDROME Inadequate ventilation require cfm of outdoor air per person. Up to 60 cfm/person may be required in some spaces with smokers. Chemical contaminants from indoor sources adhesives, carpeting, upholstery, manufactured wood products, copy machines, pesticides, and cleaning agents which may give off formaldehyde, tobacco smoke, respirable particulate matter. Chemical contaminants from outdoor sources motor vehicle exhausts; plumbing vents, building exhausts from bathrooms and kitchens; combustion products from nearby garage. Biological contaminants bacteria, moulds, pollen, and viruses from stagnant water accumulated in ducts, humidifiers and drain pans, or where water has collected ceiling tiles, carpeting, or insulation. Birds or insect droppings can also be sources of biological contaminants. Asbestos and radon - cause long term disease.

9 Case Study of Pollutants in IMR P O O R I N D O O R A I R Q U A L I T Y 2 million people a year die prematurely Indoor Air pollutant 5 times higher than outdoor pollutant EPA-poor IAQ is among top 5 environmental risk to public health Lung Cancer 2% Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) 54% Pneumonia 44%
10 Case Study of Pollutants in IMR I M PA C T S ON H E A LT H ( W H O, ) 44% Pneumonia Nearly half of deaths among children under five years old from acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) are due to particulate matter inhaled from indoor air pollution from household solid fuels (WHO, 2009). 54% Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Women exposed to heavy indoor smoke are three times as likely to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (e.g. chronic bronchitis), than women who use cleaner fuels. Among men (who already have a heightened risk of chronic respiratory disease due to their higher rates of smoking), exposure to indoor smoke nearly doubles that risk. 2 % Lung cancer Approximately 1.5% of annual lung cancer deaths are attributable to exposure to carcinogens form indoor air pollution. As with bronchitis, the risk for women is higher, due to their role in food preparation as well as their comparatively lower rates of smoking. Women exposed to indoor smoke thus have double the risk of lung cancer in comparison with those not exposed. Other health impacts More generally, small particulate matter and other pollutants in indoor smoke inflame the airways and lungs, impairing immune response and reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
11 Case Study of Pollutants in IMR PRIMARY SOURCES OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION
12 Case Study of Pollutants in IMR IMPACTS ON HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT
13 Why Green Your Cleaning Products? Some products contained reproductive toxins such as toluene, phthalates, and chloroform can be linked to pregnancy complications, birth defects and cancer causing substance. Several known allergens i.e. fragranced air fresheners causes mild skin rashes, eye, nose or throat irritation, headaches, chronic dermatitis, breathing difficulties and asthma. None of these chemicals were listed on the product s label.
14 Benefits of Green Your Cleaning Products Financial savings Green purchasing can help to reduce or eliminate the cost of waste and/or hazardous material management. Positive PR Implementing a green purchasing policy can go a long way for positive PR as it is good business practice. Improved employee health Your staff and the communities in the vicinity of your operations benefit from green purchasing practices through cleaner air and water. In turn, this helps you avoid costs related to worker health and safety, and can lower environmental risk costs. Environmental and climate protection benefits Green purchasing practices can reduce solid waste, conserve water and protect natural resources. They can also help alleviate climate change.
15 Introduction of SmartCoat s Characteristics Nano-sized Titanium Dioxide (2-3 nm) Transparent- easy to apply to any surface due to Dispersion Technology Visible Light Response and Reaction SELF Binding Capabilities without any binder Spraying and Fixing Directly, Dry and Firm Instantly
16 Introduction of SmartCoat SmartCoat is a nano TiO2-based sterilize solution that works 24/7 at destroying or inhibiting unwanted micro-organisms. It is an eco-friendly water-based coating that kills viruses, bacteria, mould, and fungal growth; and most importantly enhances indoor air quality. SmartCoat embraces photocatalyst technology and works effectively under any source of light and ventilation. The application method is to spraying the sterilize coat onto touchable surfaces via electrostatic sprayer.
17 Safety on Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium(iv) oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula TiO2. TiO2 is non-toxic and approved by food testing laboratory of the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA), CE certified. TiO2 is considered to be a safe substance, and is harmless to human. It has a wide range of applications, from paint to sunscreen to food colouring, and commonly found in daily products i.e. lipsticks, body power, toothpastes, Panadol, etc.
18 Smart Features of SmartCoat Anti Bacteria/Antivirus Anti Fungal VOC removal Self Cleansing Deodorizing
19 How SmartCoat works with Photocatalyst? SmartCoat s technology utilizes any light source to activate its oxidative ability when it is applied onto surfaces. Through this process, SmartCoat s surfaces are able to break any organic matters upon contact.
20 Lab Test on Antibacterial Activity - Ecoli Has zone of inhibition Inhibit the growth of bacteria No zone of inhibition Bacteria grow on cotton cloth
21 Lab Test on Antifungal Activity Aspergillus Niger Has zone of inhibition Inhibit the growth of fungi No zone of inhibition Fungi grow rapidly
22 Application Method of SmartCoat SmartCoat is negatively charged through the electrostatic sprayer before application. Upon releasing to the air, the negatively charged SmartCoat will be attracted to the positive surfaces, and embedded itself into the pores of the surfaces. When it dries, it crystalized and become one with the surface. SmartCoat will enhance the hardness of the treated surface 9 times harder, thus making it difficult to be removed.
23 Where to apply SmartCoat?
24 Versatile application to all sectors
