Together for clean air

Good air quality requires effort on the part of authorities and companies. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of regulations and technical procedures in the field of air hygiene, we support authorities with enforcement and advise companies on the optimization of facilities and work processes. Together, we are committed to clean air.

Air is a vital resource that has a direct impact on human and environmental health. Since the introduction of the Ordinance on Air Pollution Control (OAPC) in 1986 and the start of continuous air pollutant measurements, air quality in Switzerland has improved significantly. Nevertheless, constant monitoring of pollutant sources and regular adaptation of the regulations to the current state of the art are necessary to ensure that air remains clean.

 

Because we humans spend 80 percent of our day indoors, the quality of indoor air is particularly important for our health. Pollutants can enter from the outside or be released into the interior by building materials and technical equipment. These aspects should be taken into account in planning and operation. We are committed to the sustainable use of air as a resource. We advise both public authorities and companies on their concerns with the aim of continuously improving air quality and air hygiene indoors and outdoors.
