90%

‘Elevate the 90%‘ is designed to address indoor air quality (IAQ) management gaps in Hong Kong.

  • People spend about 90% of their time indoors, making the quality of indoor air critical to health and wellbeing.
  • Currently, more than 90% of buildings have yet to elevate their standards for healthier indoor environments.
  • More than 90% of the IAQ monitoring locations do not display the IAQ levels in a public platform

 

The Threat Indoors

We spend 90% of our time indoors—in residences, offices, malls, gyms and restaurants.

  • Indoor spaces expose us to risks from viruses and communicable diseases.
  • Hidden mixtures of pollutants indoors include particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are carcinogenic and harmful.
  • Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) triggers many health symptoms like asthma, skin allergies, and general well-being.
The Threat Indoors

A Challenge of Awareness and Action

Despite the significant time spent indoors, public awareness of indoor air quality (IAQ) remains low.

  • Decisions in improving IAQ practices are mainly controlled by building owners and management.
  • Consumers and employees lack influence or feedback channels, leading to policies that don’t address everyone’s needs.

Your Choice Matters

Every time you step into an indoor space you experience the air around you.

  • You can take part in improving the air quality where you visit.
  • You support will help reveal how well venues protect public health.
  • You can contribute to better indoor air quality standards citywide.

How the Campaign Works

  • Ambassadors nominate 3-5 indoor venues for participation in the air sampling investigation.
  • Ambassadors receive easy-to-use air sampling kits to collect samples during visits to these locations.
  • Ambassadors monitor the location for a minimum period of 1 hour.
  • After data collection, samples are returned for analysis, and results are shared openly via an interactive map on the campaign website.

Why Indoor Air Quality Matters

Indoor air quality impacts your health daily, especially in busy public spaces where pollutants can accumulate. Collecting air samples helps identify areas for improvement, promote healthier indoor environments and safeguard public health for all.
