Indoor air quality is crucial for our health and well-being, especially in the context of modern lifestyle where we spend most of our time indoors. A key factor affecting air quality is the choice of construction materials, as they can potentially release pollutants. Gypsum products play an important role in improving air quality, and using low-emission products can significantly reduce the number and concentration of harmful substances indoors.

VOC and SVOC – Harmful Volatile Organic Compounds

Gypsum is widely used in modern construction, in the form of boards or compounds for wall and ceiling installation, due to its durability, fire resistance, and easy installation. Beyond these advantages, it also contributes to improving indoor air quality. According to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), gypsum boards can absorb harmful volatile organic compounds (VOC), which are often released indoors.
VOCs are chemical compounds that are easily emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids commonly present in building materials, and exposure to high concentrations can lead to respiratory problems, eye irritation, and even long-term adverse health effects. Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) are odorless and though less volatile than VOCs, are equally harmful to health.
Technogips Pro system solutions are specifically designed with zero emissions of harmful volatile compounds, helping maintain a healthier living environment.

Gypsum as a Pollutant Trap
A major advantage of gypsum as a building material is its ability to absorb and release moisture, which regulates indoor humidity levels, whilst purifying the air in the premises. According to NCBI’s research, materials like gypsum boards and mixtures prevent the growth of mold and mildew, whose spores are a major cause of allergies and asthma. This special property also helps absorb and retain VOCs, which are often released in larger amounts under warm and humid conditions. By capturing these pollutants, gypsum boards help reduce the overall chemical load in homes and offices, resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment.

Advantages for Sustainable and Healthy Construction

Using gypsum boards as part of a sustainable construction strategy not only improves the health of occupants but also helps protect the environment. Gypsum boards are fully recyclable and have a smaller carbon footprint compared to many other building materials. All components of Technogips Pro system solutions are developed and tested to meet modern construction standards and requirements.

Gypsum is becoming increasingly important in improving indoor air quality. Its ability to regulate moisture and absorb pollutants, combined with low VOC emissions, makes it an ideal choice for modern construction projects. The use of environmentally friendly materials like gypsum helps create healthier, more comfortable, and more sustainable spaces.
