Protect Your Facility and Occupants with Clean-Air's Proactive Approach.
The relentless rain and high humidity of the monsoon season has created the perfect breeding ground for mould outbreaks in buildings. This isn't just an aesthetic issue - mould can have a serious impact on the health of your occupants, triggering respiratory problems, allergies, and even asthma.

The monsoon can be in either an "active" or an "inactive" phase. The active phase is usually associated with broad areas of cloud and rain, with sustained moderate to fresh northwesterly winds on the north side of the trough. Credit / BOM, Bureau of Meteorology.
