Garbage Odours - Your Responsibility

Your surroundings are a reflection of yourself...

Garbage Smell|Commercial Air Purifiers| PuraAir Australia

Did you know that piled up garbage can generate methane, which is a greenhouse gas, more potent than CO2? Methane gas floats in the atmosphere, contributing immensely to global warming. Apart from this, electronic and construction waste, including broken glasses and battery cells, are toxic substances that can penetrate the soil, compromise on environmental health and resulting in emission of foul odours and gases.

The usual notion is that once waste has been disposed off, it can no longer cause any harm. This is only an illusion. Garbage which is left lying without any treatment may result in the growth of mould and bacteria on the surface of the cans or bags. Although you cannot do much about outdoor garbage odours, you can at least keep your home environment clean and pure with PuraAir odour control and air purification systems.

Assume Responsibility and Ensure Compliance with Regulations

Every home, office and institute produces trash on a regular basis. Each one has a responsibility of ensuring the health and safety of the respective residents, employees, visitors, contractors and everyone, in and around their premises. This responsibility of air sanitisation isn't limited to public places, such as lounges and waiting areas, but also extends to storage rooms and garbage chutes. Although storage rooms may have limited or no accessibility, the aerial emissions can prove harmful for the residents.

In addition to this, it is essential to comply with the basic obligations of air sanitisation, in accordance with the regulations laid down. The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act 2000 and OHS Regulation 2001 (section 20 of the Act) are two such regulations, laid down by the Parliamentary Counsel's Office and published on the NSW Legislation Website. According to these acts, employees, visitors, contractors and residents have the right to high quality air, wherein appropriate efforts have been made to ensure the air is bacteria, virus and fungus free.

The PuraAir Advantage

The air in your premises needs to be safe and sanitised. Trust PuraAir commercial air purifiers to help you control the air quality and dispose your garbage in a more hygienic and proficient manner.
