Toronto, Ontario — As the summer travel season draws to an end, many Canadians are squeezing in one final vacation. Furthermore, those returning to the office may be required to travel for work-related events for the first time since March 2020.
With the persisting threat of COVID-19 around the world, the idea of traveling may be intimidating. From busy airport terminals to staying in hotels and using public transportation, traveling brings about many potential situations that could increase the risk of infection.
Air filtration experts from Camfil Canada have created a new educational resource to inform Canadians about the health risks associated with staying in hotels, as well as what Canadians can do to protect themselves from these health risks.
“Inhalation of pollution particulates that are generated from within hotels are also a cause for concern. These pollutants may include dust on hotel furniture; various concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from solvents and sealants, fragrant decorations, and cooking fumes in kitchens; and even biological pollutants from people. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the presence of these indoor pollutants causes health problems such as respiratory diseases, heart disease and cancer.”
— Berni Baier, National Sales and Marketing Support Manager at Camfil Canada

-
The health and safety risks associated with hotels.
-

-
Top 6 tips to reduce pollution-related health risks during travel.
