Air pollution isn't just a distant environmental issue—it's a pressing threat! In 2019, India faced a staggering economic loss of $95 billion due to reduced workforce productivity, absenteeism, and premature deaths, all linked to poor air quality. Workspaces with high levels of #airpollution report increased fatigue, headaches, and general discomfort among employees—factors that directly impair job performance. Even at levels generally considered safe, increases in air pollution reduce worker productivity A recent meta-analysis revealed that reducing PM2.5 levels by just 1 µg/m³ could boost labor productivity in manufacturing by about 0.0084%. This seemingly small improvement highlights the crucial role air quality plays in workplace performance. Even a 5% drop in productivity can translate into millions of dollars in lost revenue annually for large corporations. As businesses strive to optimize operations and maintain a competitive edge, addressing air quality is no longer just a matter of #socialresponsibility; it is essential for safeguarding the bottom line. #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceHealth #AirQualityMatters #EnvironmentalImpact #NaturebasedSolutions
