DESCRIPTION

At airmid healthgroup ltd our mission is to prevent ill health caused by exposure to indoor air pollutants. To achieve this goal we have assembled a unique multidisciplinary team of Clinicians, Industrial Hygienists, Occupational Health Advisers, and Specialist Laboratory Scientists in Mycology, Virology, Bacteriology, Allergy and Immunology. This slide deck refers to our Environmental Test Chamber with modified ASHRAE type 52.2 Test Rig. To find out more contact Graeme Tarbox [email protected] or visit www.airmidhealthgroup.com To help clients with products and services for the built environment improve their customer offerings through health related innovations and marketing. The Airmid mission is to create value through a number of collaborative strategies including field research, environmental test chamber studies and licensing our own intellectual property. By specialising in studying how allergens, viruses, and other ultra-fine particles spread illness and disease in buildings we are a leading authority in aerobiology and bio-medical research. Our clients succeed by making the built environment as healthy as possible.

Why Airmid?

• Airmid, was the Celtic Goddess of the Healing

• She was the daughter of primary physician of the Tuatha Dé  Danann.

• Airmid presided over the Sláine Well of Healing.

• When specific incantations were changed over this well, slain warriors could be dipped inside and become completely whole and healthy, ready to fight again.
