Definition

What is it: Post-renovation airing out is a safety process involving continuous ventilation to disperse volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from new materials. This procedure is critical in urban environments like Singapore where occupants spend 90% of their time indoors.

What is it used for: It is used to prevent health issues such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory irritation caused by chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene. It ensures that indoor air quality reaches safe levels before families move into a freshly upgraded property.
