Toshiba South Africa Takes a Stand on Indoor Air Quality to Protect Human Capital and Boost Workplace Productivity

The conversation around air quality often starts with pollutants we can see or smell, but some of the biggest clues are hidden in plain sight. CO2 is one of them. It’s more than just a number on a screen. CO2 is a powerful indicator of how healthy (or unhealthy( our indoor spaces really are. It affects how we think, how we feel, and how resilient we are in shared environments. I’m sharing this interview from Change the Air Foundation and this important perspective from Allison A. Bailes III, PhD, inviting all of you to dig deeper into the CO2 connection. Let’s keep building the awareness that leads to action.

A good read. Thanks for sharing, Michael Rubino.

Today marks #CleanAirDay2025, and it’s worth pausing to acknowledge just how far this conversation has come. It’s been 30 years since the Environment Act of 1995 was introduced in the UK. That legislation was a turning point. It gave structure and urgency to the way we think about air, pollution, and public health. It pushed both national and local authorities to take responsibility for the quality of the air people breathe every day. It wasn’t perfect. But it made one thing clear: air is not just a background element. It’s part of our health system, our economy, our schools, our homes. At SensusAir, this kind of framework matters deeply to us. Because clean air isn’t just a value we hold, it’s the very reason we exist. It’s the reason we build the tools we do, why we work with schools, clinics, factories and families. It’s why we care about visibility, about giving people the data and context to take action. We believe the next 30 years will look very different. Cleaner. Smarter. More informed. Because we’re not just watching the air. We’re helping people understand it. #CleanAirDay2025 #SensusAir #AirQuality #EnvironmentalHealth #BetterSpaces #MakeAirVisible

There’s a bill making its way through the US right now called the Cleaner Air Spaces Act of 2025. And while it might not make the front page, it’s one of the most important conversations we could be having right now. Because here’s the reality: millions of people across the country are spending their days breathing in smoke, dust, and invisible pollutants: often indoors, and often without knowing it. The most powerful thing about this bill isn’t the funding or the paperwork. It’s the fact that lawmakers are starting to recognize something we’ve been saying for years: the air we breathe indoors matters. This act encourages cleaner, healthier indoor spaces. Not just for comfort, but for survival. It acknowledges that clean air is not a luxury, it’s a baseline for wellbeing. And it validates what schools, healthcare spaces, community centres, and everyday families have been quietly dealing with for years. At SensusAir, this hits home. We’ve built our technology to respond to this exact need: to make the invisible visible, to give people the power to understand their air, and to help create spaces where people can actually thrive. It’s not just about policy. It’s about people. And we’re grateful to see the conversation shifting in that direction. #SensusAir #CleanAir #AirQuality #HealthierSpaces #IndoorEnvironment #AirMatters #BreatheBetterLiveBetter

Have you ever noticed how a good workout can clear your head, strengthen your body, and reset your rhythm? Movement has a way of grounding us, pushing us, and bringing us back into balance. But here’s something we rarely talk about: the quality of the air we breathe while we move. During exercise, we breathe faster, deeper, and more often through our mouths. That means we take in more air (and more of whatever is in it) straight into our lungs, bypassing the filters in our nose. If the air is clean, our bodies thank us. But if it’s polluted, we’re putting ourselves at risk without even realizing it. There’s real science behind this. Studies have shown that even moderate increases in fine particulate matter can impact athletic performance. College athletes running in slightly polluted air were measurably slower than those in cleaner conditions. Marathon runners exposed to higher pollution levels took longer to finish their races. And it’s not just about performance, it’s about long-term health. Clean air has been directly linked to longer life expectancy and better respiratory recovery. This is why we’ve come to see clean air and physical exercise as two powerful allies. Together, they build resilience. They improve longevity. And they amplify the benefits of each other. At SensusAir, we’ve made it our mission to make air visible, especially in places where people go to get stronger. Gyms. Training centers. Indoor courts and studios. Because if we care about what we put in our bodies, we should also care about what we breathe in while pushing them to their limits. Clean air and consistent movement. Two simple, powerful things that can shape a healthier life. Let’s not leave either behind. #SensusAir #Longevity #CleanAir #MovementMatters #AirQuality #HealthierSpaces #FitnessAndWellbeing #BreatheBetterLiveBetter #innovation #management

Our work at SensusAir has been acknowledged with two awards that speak to both innovation and impact: Best Environmental Risk Management & Disease Prevention Specialist 2025 – USA Innovation Excellence Award 2025 But for us, it was never about awards. Our ethos from day one has been clear: build technology that empowers people to create better spaces, where they can truly thrive. That journey has taken us through years of engineering, iteration, and refinement. From hardware to edge AI, every detail has been shaped to ensure the data we provide leads to understanding, action, and impact. Because in the end, it’s not just about smart systems. It’s about making lives better and environments safer. To our clients, partners, and supporters, thank you for believing in this mission. These awards are your story too. #SensusAir #PurposeDrivenInnovation #HealthierSpaces #EnvironmentalRisk #IndoorAirQuality #2025Awards #Gratitude #Management #Innovation

It’s a powerful feeling to see SensusAir joining forces with forward-thinking organisations that truly care about their people. By making the air visible, we’re helping teams create environments that are not only safer, but also more productive, focused, and resilient. After all, clean air isn’t just a health factor, it’s a performance factor. It supports clearer thinking, deeper focus, fewer sick days, and better overall wellbeing. We’re proud to play a role in helping workplaces breathe better, and do better. #SensusAir #AirQuality #EmployeeWellbeing #HealthyWorkplace #EnvironmentalHealth #CleanAir #Productivity #SmartBuildings

Not all data is information. And not all information is useful. As Seth Godin puts it: "Data becomes information when at least one of two related things are true: 1. We learn something for next time 2. We make different decisions or take new actions If you’re not getting one of these things, then the data is simply noise. A distraction that wastes our time and confuses us." If neither happens, then it’s just noise — a flood of numbers that distracts rather than informs. The same is true for the air we breathe. Information must serve a purpose. If it doesn’t lead to understanding, improvement, or action… it’s just bandwidth dressed up as insight. At SensusAir, we're not just collecting numbers. We are making the invisible meaningful. #DataDriven #DecisionMaking #InformationOverload #SignalOverNoise #DataStrategy #CriticalThinking #DigitalClarity #MeaningfulData

The smaller it gets, the deeper it goes. Most people are aware of PM10 and PM2.5, but few realize that PM1.0 (particles just 1 micron or less) can travel deeper into the lungs, bypassing our natural filters, and even reach the bloodstream. Emerging research is starting to show just how serious that is: ▪ A 2023 study in Environmental Health Perspectives linked PM1.0 exposure to heightened asthma symptoms and reduced lung function in adults (PMC11215765). ▪ Urban studies in South Asia have shown that PM1.0 concentrations regularly exceed WHO recommended limits, posing both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks (Environmental Systems Research, 2023). ▪Cognitive health is also at risk: while PM2.5 has already been linked to impaired brain function, smaller particles like PM1.0 likely have even greater neuroinflammatory effects (Nature, 2024). This is why we at SensusAir are obsessed with making the air visible, no matter how micro the particle. It’s not enough to track the obvious threats. True air safety means capturing what most systems ignore. Because what you can’t see, still gets in. #AirQuality #PM1 #EnvironmentalHealth #Biotech #SensusAir #CleanAir #IndoorAirQuality #PublicHealth Image credit: H2S Media.
