VOCs and HEPA filtration
Sick building syndrome is more common than we think
Sick building syndrome is easily described as a sick building, or rather a building that harbors viruses, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) inside of it. The definition is widely used in regard to workplace environments, and the syndrome is caused by poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Individuals may experience more frequent headaches and dizziness, nausea, aches and pains, fatigue, shortness of breath, eye, nose, and throat irritation, and more when suffering from sick building syndrome.
Keeping VOC levels low in a bank
The prevention of sick building syndrome necessitates a building that can maintain low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When a new commercial bank in Japan was built with carefully selected materials and a supervised construction site, its total VOC level after construction was 104 µg/m³, well under the 400 µg/m³ target value recommended by Japan’s health ministry. In a branch that is already built, the MedicAir®’s activated carbon filter captures gas pollutants, odors, and other VOCs.
The best HEPA air purifier for banks and finance offices
The MedicAir® combines multiple stages of medical-grade air purification in one unit: a pre-filter, a HEPA H13 filter, an activated carbon filter, and a UV-C lamp. It has been tested by multiple renowned labs to ensure performance and is used by thousands of professionals and residential and commercial environments to improve indoor air quality.
Indoor air quality in banks
Banks protect our finances, but what about indoor air quality?
In a study of indoor air quality in six Italian bank branches, the highest pollutant concentrations were generally measured in the “teller area” and in winter. The researchers sampled the air in each branch’s teller area and consulting area, in summer and in winter, for particulate matter (PM), formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon dioxide (CO2), plus other chemicals in four of the six branches. Building characteristics, such as a major refurbishment, also appeared to affect the levels of some contaminants, such as formaldehyde.
The MedicAir®’s display shows the room’s air quality reading, temperature, and humidity, and its ReAKT mode automatically turns the fan up when it detects high levels of pollution.
Effective against airborne contaminants
Air purifiers like the MedicAir® have been proven to be extremely successful in purifying the air by removing dangerous suspended airborne particulates.
Many of the particles released when someone sneezes, coughs, or talks are so small that they are able to remain in the air for extended periods. Without proper ventilation and filtration, these suspended impurities linger in the lobby, teller area, lounge, break room, consultation office, and more.
Improved productivity and reduced absence of workers from the workplace
Studies have shown that improved air quality can also improve cognitive function, improve productivity, increase learning capacity, and reduce the absence of workers from the workplace. In banks, back offices, and investment offices, staff breathe the same air for a whole working day.
Acceptable indoor air quality starts with MedicAir®.

Sick building syndrome
As the name implies, sick building syndrome (SBS) is when the building itself is sick, or holds many VOCs, viruses, bacteria, and more, which circulate throughout the building and increase the rate of sickness for occupants. A common symptom of SBS is an increased frequency of headaches and dizziness.

Banks deal with hundreds of people each week
Bankers see many people every day. Particulates become airborne through coughing, sneezing, or simply talking. These particulates are suspended in the air and linger for long periods of time without proper ventilation or air filtration in place.
-
Odors and other chemicals
Everyday items, cleaning supplies, materials, and more have the potential to offload chemicals. Even the bank printer can emit hazardous particles: according to a CBC News report, by mass, the amount of small particles you inhale sitting two to three feet from a printer is about the same as sitting next to a person who smokes.
The MedicAir®’s HEPA H13 filter captures more than 99.9% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, and its activated carbon filter captures gas pollutants, odors, and other VOCs.
Trusted by world-renowned establishments
The air purification we provide is trusted in hospitals, universities, schools, care homes, and businesses across North America, the UK, and Europe.
Questions
Common questions about air purifiers for banks and offices
What is the best air purifier for a bank or finance office?
Thousands of retail and office environments, including banks and banking offices, trust the MedicAir®: medical-grade air purification with a pre-filter, HEPA H13, activated carbon, and UV-C in one portable unit, with up to 605 m³/h of airflow. It plugs in, with no professional installation, and has been independently tested by Intertek, Airmid, and CREM Co.
How many air purifiers does a bank branch need?
It depends on the size of each room: the lobby, the teller area, the offices, and the break room. Our air changes per hour calculator shows how many MedicAir® units a room needs: the commercial setting aims for 5 air changes per hour, and the medical setting for 10. Or book the free air test and consultation at your bank or office.
Is the MedicAir quiet enough for an office?
Its sound level runs from 28 dB on its quietest setting to 60 dB at full speed, and a whisper is about 30 dB. A room with enough units can reach its air change target without any of them running at full speed, which keeps them quieter.
What is sick building syndrome?
Sick building syndrome (SBS) is a condition affecting office workers, typically marked by headaches and respiratory problems, attributed to unhealthy or stressful factors in the working environment, such as poor ventilation. Its causes are the same as the causes of poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Our article What is Sick Building Syndrome? lists the common symptoms.
How much does an air purifier for a bank cost?
